The hydraulic arm of a Fiat-Hitachi caterpillar digger frames the 17th Century dome of St Paul's Cathedral during the redevelopment of the southbank in central London. Standing on a pile of rubble it sits idol during a break in reconstruction project that transformed Bankside from an unlandscaped are to a smart walkway in time for the Millennium of 2000. An aircraft en-route to City Airport flies overhead and a Police river patrol boat cruises past too.
