London Calling
Hi all.
Quick photo update, all from England. I still have more England shots to post (including a few Harry Potter-themed shots); this is just a random selection. Looking back, I'd say London was one of my favourite stops; theater, nightlife, history & culture I knew something about beforehand, slick infrastructure (the Tube kicks ass), and people that actually speak English (or, at least, a version of it that I could usually comprehend). Very vibrant place.
Pictures:
1) One of the stops on the Tube was Waterloo. Made me a little homesick, it did.
2) On a rainy, dreary day, we visited Stonehenge. Fitting weather, but it wasn't enough to wipe the smarm from my face as I listened to the automated audio guide.
3) Stonehenge. Captured at a high resolution for my future desktop background needs. Feel free to bogart it for your own personal use.
4) Markus climbs on top of a massive bronze lion in Trafalgar Square. I think he has a slight ego problem.
5) Big Ben from nearby...
6) ...and from faraway Buckingham Palace.
7) Met some London skateboarding kids near London Bridge. Almost no one actually managed to land anything, but that didn't stop them from trying.

Good work brian! Just so you know, I do still check your site everytime I go on my computer. It is my homepage still. I'm monitoring you!

Posted by: Mike Holt at November 12, 2003 09:17 PMNope, didn't go up in it, the price seemed too high for the value (and we were quite poor at the end of our trip, which doesn't mesh well with London).
I do have some more pictures of it I'll post, but nothing too spectacular.
If Shannon's reading, that's all I need to keep on posting!
