This blog entry is just a collection of miscellaneous images from around London. We'll start in Kensington, move through Hyde Park, on to Buckingham Palace, Picadilly Circus and end up in St Pauls. We hope that you enjoy the tour.
A very dear friend of ours, J (see Hunger Over Thirst blog for her wonderful travel journal and foodie insights) said that we MUST stop in at Laduree and try something called a vanilla macaroon. Oh my heavens. There a no words to describe the Laduree macaroon collection. We tried six different kinds including mango, rose, coffee . . . and ate them as we walked aimlessly around the Kensington area eventually getting lost in the process. The macaroons are a minor miracle and a must-try when in London town.
On our way to Buckingham Palace. This woman felt that pigeons didn't belong near Her Majesty's place of residence.
This next one is for my friend Lori who I thought of everytime we saw horseback riders making their way through the beautiful Hyde Park.
This woman apparently likes pigeons since she is feeding them.
Just a typical scene in Hyde Park.
These next two are from Picadilly Circus. There's such a wonderful atmosphere there.
A close-up of the statue.
Moving on to the area around St Paul's Cathedral:
And finally, a window inside one of the rooms that make up the wall surrounding the Tower of London.

Thanks David....absolutely wonderful images! You are making me want to travel and do some real photography! Still to cold in Yellowknife!! - Lori
the woman feeding the pigeons is amazing..you have to frame it...LOVE it.
Oh my goodness, I admire your work so much your comment means more to me than I can possibly say, Shirley. I have learned so much from following your blog about trying to develop a different way of viewing subjects, framing and composing them and adding a sense of artistic style to a photo. I can find all of those things in your blog everyday.
Actually, I have a series of three of the lady feeding the pigeons including one where she is facing me and another where she is facing the pigeons but not in the middle of throwing them a treat. Hopefully, they'll make a nice series when I get them framed up
