Part 5: More Snow in London
Ah another morning awakening in our comfy phone box hotel
Ah another morning awakening in our comfy phone box hotel
No more snow? Can I come outside and play?
I can't hear you dear
She said WHAT?
On our way to St Paul's
Queen Victoria waiting for a red bus that won't drive today.
The inner Temple Gardens
A lonely fountain still working in this icy landscape
Someone left his polar bear fur coat on the bench
Oh just snow
A frozen family on the bench. British lawyers do know how to make a decent snowman after all.
overlooking the Thames
we are closing in now
finally we spot something beginning in "ye olde..."
ye olde clocketh
ye olde bus stoppeth
ye olde sandwich chain storeth
ye olde modernism
and ye olde curtains might need a washing pretty soon
'tis where you empale ye olde heads on
ye olde zooming in
ye olde churchtower
ye olde St Paul's
yet another frozen queen Victoria statue, hailing a cab
ye olde snow flakes
ye olde victorian Victoria
ye olde way to pray
ye olde snowman
aehm...ye olde traffic lightests
ye olde cranes
ye not quite so olde tourist information house
someone's waving at me over there. Is it Jesus?
ye olde spiritualism
and now we leaveth for ye olde tate modern
snowman
ye Erik
ye wobbly bridge
ye Thameth river
ye olde trash eater
ye olde Shakespeareth Globe Theatereth
Tate Modern: the tower
Tate Modern: the sidewings
Tate Modern: ye olde snowhouse building competition
ye olde Modern
I have a good one for this: The Iceman cometh
Inside the belly of the Tate
ye olde new addition wing
I like all this green in winter
a modern exhibition: beds, a big Bourgeois spider and some Calder oversized sculpture...
and an oversized kittycat skeleton
oh and some giant piece of rotting apple
my own art on a postcart
world of museum
The view from the Tate Modern restaurant (closed)
the Gherkin in the back
A snowlady
The Shakespeare tavern where we had a light meal after contemplating the Globe Theater
No Parking
The City and its banks
Lloyd's Bank tower designed by Sir Norman Foster
I love this one
the temples of money
Ironically the old Royal Stock Exchange has now been transformed into a luxury shopping center.
Bank of England
Boy have i got snazzy ears!
