London Stone

Welcome to London, England. Day one is 33 degrees.
And because of the sun, I refuse to sit above on the boat afloat the Thames. Hence, the London Eye is seen from snail's eye view.


Beware of step

 The Tower of London. Place of blood. Now home to painstaking graffiti, the Crown Jewels, and audio guides.






St. Paul's Cathedral. Inspired effort. The London Symphony Orchestra filling its corners with Faure's Requiem.



Despite the name, no Chinese food


The British Museum, housing the treasures of all other nations.
 Among them, the naturally mummified man.


 Westminster Abbey and a busy British man.
 A fat pigeon. Amongst the fattest I've seen.


 At Tate Modern, fuelling my doubts about much modern art.


The Abbey again.

 Victoria and Albert.


 Globe Theatre groundlings.


My kind of city.
