T00by London pictures

[mayhap]

Yeah, these are somehow different from everyone else's pictures of London because these are my pictures of London.

I miss London. It was so pretty and cool.



Well, I suppose that this is self-explanatory.


The banks of the Thames and Cleopatra's Needle


Yeah, so I saw the spraypainted "This is not a photo opportunity" and I immediately reached for my camera. Reverse psychology, I suppose.


Another cool bit of quasi-vandalism


I just like this one.


Yay, it's my street!


I have lots of pictures with people looking at guidebooks in them. It's great.


Obligatory "Can I get this into my viewfinder?" shot


I had totally forgotten that the Burghers of Calais were there until I tripped over them.


Most seagulls weren't as obliging as this one


Pigeons and tourists flock to Trafalgar Square


I love the distribution of the pigeons.


More phallic objects






This is where I stayed in Harrow. This picture proves that I actually saw a blue sky while I was there, even if it was only for a couple of hours that one morning.


I ate lunch here by this statue of Wellington.


I forget what that crazy metal building was all about, but it was great.


That's a Christmas tree in the window at the Tower of London, although you can't really see it.

Oh, how you've made me miss it...

I'm so glad I'm going in March.

[mayhap]

Yay! Lucky you.

*jealous*

[mayhap]

How come nobody asked us where we wanted to live before we were born, damn it? It would have made things so much easier.

Anyway YAY CANADA HAVE FUN!

THanks! :D

Ooh! Another geology-type! :D *polishes her shiny B.Sc. of same* It's so much fun. What are you going to be doing up here in the Great White North, eh?

Oh, and do you have a toque? You need a toque, or they won't let you through customs. ;)

Loverly pics.

Can I save them and show them to a friend of mine? :) We've been planning on going there maybe next year.

[mayhap]

Go right ahead. :) Heck, put them in a PowerPoint presentation entitled "Why we should totally go to London as it is the coolest place ever." You have my whole-hearted approval.

[sickled-compass.livejournal.com]

Much thanks. It is indeed the closest place ever. I envy my brother who lives there...

[tendervessel.livejournal.com]

Those are so beautiful. I long to go there someday!!

[mayhap]

Thanks! I wholeheartedly recommend it. ;)

Metal building is Lloyds of London - shipping insurance.

Thanks for sharing. I'm always curious to see what other people think of my city - I envy people who are getting to see it all for the first time.

[mayhap]

Ah, indeed! It all comes back to me now.

It was a pretty heady experience, especially after living imaginatively in London for years now. I still envy people who got to grow up with it, however. ;)

Bwahahaha "This is not a photo opportunity."
When I win the lottery, you want to go to London with me?
And your name's margaret? I thought your name was "Hap."

[mayhap]

*spanks*

Get my name straight, or I am so not taking you to London, whore.

[coercedbynutmeg.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I'm doing better than when we were in high school, and I thought your name was "Gretz." I was so disappointed you weren't a hockey champ, or a hockey anything.

[mayhap]

*weepz*

I mean, you've only known me in Real Life for over four years. No reason that you should, like, know my name or anything.

I read some books about hockey players; does that count?

[mayhap]

Thanks! Man, now I want to go back ... ;)
