Obviously this is London, not Africa. We (I) decided it would be nice to break up the journey with a 22 hour layover in London, so after arriving at Heathrow and spending most of the night awake in a Japanese-style pod hotel in the airport, we took the Tube and arrived in Westminster around 8 AM. The whole place was dead (it was a Sunday morning), but that made for some good light and some nice pics.
Looks like I got beat to this shot. Who knew?
"Whitby & Co., for all your 3D pince-nez needs."
To our surprise, there was some kind of half-marathon running that day, so we followed them all the way down to Buckingham Palace.
I'm not going to lie, the palace did not impress. But considering our final destination, I took an interest in this column. And considering its beauty, I took an interest in this gate.
A little bit of Autumn before I headed off to Spring.
At some point, we ended up on Bond St. where I found this little work of art on the way into someones car park. It made me chuckle and I thought I'd share.
I love 747s. I have I mentioned that I have a scale model of the prototype on my bookshelf at home? And that I've seen it in real life? So, naturally, I was excited to see the specimen that was going to help me add a third continent to my passport.More to come soon (pics are uploaded already, so I've got no excuse).
