Me at Stonehenge
Stonehenge is right next to the highway and has *lots* of tourists
milling around the path around the outside of it. You can't get any closer
than this.

View of Stonehenge
This is the best view of Stonehenge. From this angle it looks as if it's
mostly still standing, whereas in reality it mostly isn't.

|
The White Horse of Avebury
Inlaid into the hill by the local lord.
|
|
Tower of Big Ben
The tower of Big Ben at the northern end of the houses of parliament,
viewed from Westminster bridge.
|
|
Houses of Parliament
On the west bank of the Thames. If this was an American movie, you would
hear the first couple of bars of 'Rule Brittannia' being played, while
the screen would be labelled "London, England".
|
|
St James' Park
Summer flowers in St. James' Park. Can anyone identify them?
|
|
Buckingham Palace
Well, there it is. There were Grenadier guards but they were over by
the building and you couldn't get a good view of them. But they did
walk funny.
|
|
Australia
There was a statue representing each of the colonies. This one was
Australia. Isn't the kangaroo cute?
|
|
Piccadilly Circus
The famous statue of Eros at the Circus,
almost hidden under the swarm of seated tourists.
|
|
Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. They'd just cleaned several tons of bird
shit from it. For some reason, the pigeons are wild about Horatio.
|
|
The Home of Cricket
A county game being played at Lord's cricket ground.
|
|
The Ashes
Yep, these are the actual Ashes. Even when
Australia has them, they stay in the Lords' museum.
|
|
Tower Bridge
Just around the corner, next to the
Tower of London.
|
|
The Prime Meridian
I'm at the Greenwich observatory, and I have one foot (the left one) in the
eastern hemisphere and one foot in the western hemisphere. In the
background, you can see the Millennium Dome.
