London Trip

November 2003

I spent a week in London, attending a conference and being a tourist. Enjoy! (Click on any individual picture to see a larger version of that picture.)

Of course, when riding 'the tube' in London (the underground subway, but don't call it a subway because that means an underground pedestrian walkway...) it is important to 'mind the gap'	Jason, the Thames, and Parliament at sunset	The London Eye, looking upthe Thames
"Look kids, Big Ben!" (Big Ben is actually not the tower or the clock, but the bell inside...)	Jason was not happy about taking this picture, but how can you go to London and not take your picture with 'bobbies?'	Westminster Abbey, where England's kings and queens have been crowned since 1066. We went to an "Evensong" (Anglican daily service of prayer, singing, Scripture reading) service there which was a great way to see the Abbey and 'experience' it as well.
Big Ben at night, with the London Eye in the background and a very English cab in the foreground.	Looking across the Thames at Parliament and Big Ben.	Another night view--London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben.
Me and Jason on the Golden Jubilee Bridge	Tower Bridge in the distance	The Milenium Bridge with St. Paul's Cathedral. The Milenium Bridge had to close shortly after opening because it was wobbly, but has since been re-opened.
London traffic at night	Trafalgar Sqaure, looking at the National Gallery of Art which contains works by Van Gogh, Monet, Leonardo, and Rembrandt	A Dianetics ad, in a tube station. I thought it was interesting to see this, so far from LA.
The London Eye
The Entrance to Downing Street	The royal horse stables with the London Eye and the moon in the background.	London street scene
More London street scenes		Fun with shutter speeds...
		I took this picture of a theatre map so that we would know where we were going. Laila mocked, but it got us to 'Mama Mia' in time for the show!
Piccadily Circus, London's version of New York's Times Square, but not quite as big.	On the subway, trying to look natural.	Me with a thousand tourists, in front of Buckingham Pallace, waiting for the changing of the guards. Too bad it was cancelled that day...
