Pics from my trip to London last week (lots of pics)

[mgkdk]

So, last monday my bf and I flew to London for a 5 day vacation.
I took loads of pics, tried to find the best ones to post here, so here we go, comments and critique is appritiated.
I didn't do any pp on the pics btw, only resize.

I love how there is sun on the statue and the sky is so dark in this one


From a waterfountain


Then we went through a park and saw this cute squirrel


Memorialstone for the people killed in the 2002 bombings in Bali


I have a thing with windows


London Eye

x2


I liked all the colours in this one (and the t-shirt in the right bottom corner )


The Eye again

and again


Then we went to the aquarium (not really great) but it was a challenge to try to take pics without a flash in relative darkness.
After about 20 attempts I got this one


Starting to get the hang of it






*que shark music*


Some funny worms


(can't remember the english name for these)


Aren't these supposed to be red




I found Nemo




These were the most bright colour, almost glowing


This seagull wouldn't stop looking so I took pics of it (forgot to get the iso down for this one)


More windows...


Going up in the Eye


Testing out the fisheye



Spot me (it was really hard to avoid reflections)


Parlament and Big Ben




Then suddenly these came flying right over us


London bus


Big Ben again


Oh no, it's tipping over


Aren't these supposed to be red?




Inside the British Museum









Playing with the fishy again




Nightshots of the Eye





At The Tower of London



Windows again




A lamp


Tower Bridge


A lamp + Tower bridge (and I did this on purpose, maybe I should have moved a little to the left)


Holes...


City Hall


I lol'd when I saw this


Tower of London at night


Tower Bridge at night, with the fishy


Impirial War Museum




Thames Barriers


Old building


At the fence at kensington palace (i think)

I'de like to think it was my über photography skillz that got me this pic but I think it was just dumb luck


These were pretty cute


Lucky again


A gazillion shoppers at picadilly circus (?)


Then this helicopter started circeling, wait a sec, that's an ambulance


It landed right outside the national gallery


Big Ben in the afternoon sun


Last one of the Eye, I promise



Phew, that was alot, thanks for looking

Awesome shots! I love your shots from on the Eye!

I live a 30 minute train journey outside of London, and never imagined it could be portrayed in such awesome awesomeness! +ed!

Oh and that fish thing you can't remember the name of is called a Jellyfish.

I demand more pictures of the squirrel.

The weather sucked when you were over - my apologies, it is usually better this time of year - damn Global Warming(?).

The bird you thought was pretty cute, that is a Starling, and believe me, you can have them. Some moron in the 1800's brought them to the US, and they push out all other songbirds. If you listen to when they sing, they imitate other birds, or other sounds, like sirens.

Good shots.

Thanks guys

Thanks, I thought that was it, but then I got confused

I demand more pictures of the squirrel.

As you wish

It actually wasn't bad, except for an hour friday, but it was cold.

Now you mention it, they did make alot of noise and flew after other birds

Great pics!

Nope, Lobsters are blue and very cool!

Infact they are so cool, I went and got a pet Lobster, Good Old Rocky.

Aren't these supposed to be red

Only when you cook them

Great looking pics! They bring back memories of my trip across the pond a few years ago. The Imperial War Museum was great! As were the Tower and the Eye.
