This is my last batch of London pictures from last week’s trip. You can pat yourselves on the back, you’ve held up most valiantly. Thanks for indulging me in my nostalgic reveries…
I wont torture you with tedious explanations – I’m sure each and every one of you has a tourist tat dust catcher of at least one of these landmarks on their mantlepiece.
And a few shots from the hill in Greenwich Park:

Aw, I’ll miss London 🙂 But excited about seeing photos from MADRID! 😉

Madrid. No river there. Hang on, there is! It’s the only capital city river in the world that’s navigable on horseback.

Does it seem as massive compared to everything else in person as it does in photos?

Not really… it looks nice as part of the skyline, doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb at all 😉

Nice! Especially getting that thing lined up in the middle of the Eye! My right hand shakes…. (and I shoot with my right ! )
I really want to go to England, then Spain, Portugal, France again, Prague, Vienna. And Germany – taking care to avoid the cat infested parts.

Been on it once. Quite nice, but not something ‘unmissable’, by any means. I love it as a landmark.
Let’s hope for a mild October 🙂

great shots – :0 and the boat in the bottle at the end was the perfect wrap up – I looked at the larger version (which I rarely do with posts) but I was able to see even more of the pattern on the sails – and the raised seal in the wax! Also, the windows in the top of that shot just add to the feel – but every photo was cool and I like the variety of angles –
oh and side note – no pressure – but I actually do enjoy when you give a few notes here and there with pics – not always needed – but sometimes I love the notes you give because it adds much.

Thanks 🙂 I try not to overdo it with the commentary, especially when I think that a pic is self-explanatory. I realise, though, that I’m biased, having taken the the pic and been to the location… 😉
