London trip (a few photos)
May. 5th, 2014 11:28 pmI'm having some trouble with Picasa tonight, so the other two albums (Paris and Oxford/Warwick) will have to wait, but meanwhile, a few pictures from our trip to London in January:
I like this perky fellow but don't remember his significance. (This might have been in Trafalgar Square.)

I like this lighting-challenged picture. We didn't go on the London Eye (weather), but it does stand out on the landscape in places:

Interesting buildings along the Thames:

I don't know what the story of the elephant at the Tower of London is:

Don't throw coins in the (Roman) fountain, the sign at the British Museum says:

Date: 2014-05-07 02:03 am (UTC)Thanks for the info about the animals. It was raining (fairly heavily at times) the day we went to the Tower, so we got shorted on the guided tour -- our Beefeater took us inside and talked to us about the whole place for about 20 minutes but didn't walk around with us. And since we did this upon entry, we hadn't yet seen things to ask about. I didn't think to try again after wandering around on our own for a while (oops).
