Description Solo trip in London, April 12-13th, 2012

As any main-stream tourist, I had to go and feel small looking up at it. It had tolled while I was trying to take shots... damn Ben, you're one loud boy! XD The light conditions were awful, it was almost raining... funky angle... more to come.

Aww I invaded you country! It has a bit of HDR in the editing, it usually works well with heavy skies and in stone monuments/buildings. I have a few more to put up ^^ Thanks or the nice comment, Donna <3

Yes you did, I am a little way away, about hours drive,
London is one of the worst places to get to in England
by car for us outsiders, so we don't go much at all....

You just sound like my aunt, living in the UK for 16 years and on ly went to London like 5 times because other people drove her there lol I went by bus to London from Swindon and indeed London seemed like a crazy city to drive in... not to mention you guys drive on the wrong side of the road! XD

That is what I always said you drive on the wrong side, not us...lol....
I KNOW BAD RIGHT, I guess being a mother of 3 keeps you away from
doing lots of things, they are grown up now, and I am still healthy enough and young enough
to do it when I get the time..between collage courses volunteering caring jobs,home..lol
A very close friend from here was in London I didn't have the time to go see her, but
I know it will get better soon...
I remember you were in Swindon, that is quite far from me well its not
its about an hours drive the oppoite way to London, you would of travelled down the M4
TO LONDON I am down the A420 from your aunt.....
