This would of been posted a long time ago but I was having difficulty u loading my photos. Looking back on our trip I am amazed that many photos came out, due to timetable restrictions. I found myself walking and taking photos at the same time so often! On previous posts I have commented on how enjoyable I found this trip but this post is about the other side of it in a selection of personal images taken. I would have liked a longer stay and to have had more time exploring museums, galleries and photo opportunities. Once there I had reverted back to being that sponge wanting to soak up all that I saw, record it and learn about what I was seeing. I had wanted while visiting, to see what I was told was called the Gherkin building- which I did see from a distance. Also the London Eye was something else I wanted to see - this was also accomplished!
I took this photo of the group while waiting to go into the BBC. The way everyone was lined up made me laugh and reminded me in a strange way of the film cover to "This is England".
The River Thames
I liked the repetition under the bridge.
I just couldn't resist these two images
Sculptures
This I found unusual and really liked the way the seahorse was encorporated as the prow on the ship
I really liked this Dragon with its red and silver and reminded me of Wales
A boat on top of a building!
This was sprayed on the pavement and looked cool.
This was on a wall by the Hotel
Graffiti
This area was really cool as it was especially for Graffiti, skateboarding and bikes activities.
The Mellenium Bridge
This was something strange we saw as he was just stood there in the River, strumming the same cord singing.
One of many buskers
This person was a bit scary but reminded me of the KFC king advert!
"Y.M.C.A"!
The Tate Gallery
The London Eye
The Houses of Parliament
Big Ben
Reflections
There was even a yellow coloured one and it gave the feel of a Lego town!
I wanted to show the scale of the building
This window remained me of Notre Dame in Paris
Windows with reflection
I really liked the door handles to the Theatre
The ceiling in one of the precincts
China Town was where we had our last meal in London.
Balcony view
Old with the new
Celebrity Kim Woodburn was spotted
A brief visit to The British Museum
Night life
I wanted to have a chance to take night time photos, the last 3 images were inspired by what I had seen of Alfred Stieglitz night time images.
