I
took the tube to Picadilly Circus from the airport. A good choice it seems

The
English are so friendly. I met this girl at the airport and she insisted
on buying me breakfast and giving guidence on how I might spend the day
Entrance
to the underground where I arrived on scene
There
goes one of them double decker busses
The
Buckinham Palace panorama
Of
course every hot tourist spot has a ticket office - and a line
A
crest on the palace gate
One
of them famous palace guards
These
were the real guards
Nice
park area near the palace
There
foul in the wild there
A
comfortable scene
Another
of the wildlife variety
There
were a number of neat things to see bordering the park
I
think that's Westminster abby from afar - closer pictures to come
The
building that houses ..
Big
Ben!
Notice
the darkening sky -
Bridge
over the river "Thames" I think
A
shot downriver
Look
what's happening in the sky
Time
to head for cover I think (other end of the Big Ben building..)
An
interesting glimpse of the Abbey
One
end of Westminster Abbey
In
case you missed it earlier - Big Ben
The
schedule at the Abbey
Cool
architecture for sure
The
top of the front
A
mid-level building feature
An
entranceway
Decoration
abounds
Back
in the park (Hyde park I think)
Looking
at the palace from another view
Some
cool flowers
The
Arch of Archimedes - or Not
Picadilly
Circle - which means - Pigeon Time!
It
just drizzled a little - no major downpour
Swimming
in birds
It
was fun - but a bit frightening at first the way the Pigeons lunged at
the seed purchased for their enjoyment
A
cool lion
Another
building which I was sure held some significance
The
"Original" Hard Rock Cafe
A
really cool Ford 427 AC Cobra - Not!
But
it was cool nonetheless
What
is that place?
The
"Tube" was full of advertising..
..
but a clean and safe way to travel
There
goes one of them subways now!
