    London

    Some pictures from my first trip to London. Hard to come up with something that feels like it hasn't been done already...but I tried my best. The weather was sadly terrible (wind, rain, and snow) the entire trip too :-(

    Hope a few turned out OK:

    St Pancras train station


    St Paul and the famous jubilee bridge


    St Paul's


    Yeoman at the Tower of London


    Big Ben!




    Tube station

    Very nice, Jeremy! I spent a weekend in London 25 years ago (courtesy of the Air Force) and would love to go back one of these days.

    awesome,i did an overnite at LHR last fall ,we didnt make it past the Pheasant(pub),located right next to Heathrow, next time i resolve to get out and about!!!
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    In other words typical British weather!!
    We went in 2011 in August and though there was a little rain and the temps cool but it was a great time!!

    Lovely stuff!

    St. Pancras is such a wonderful building, I get lost looking at it!

    B&W is a must for grey English wx. ;)

    You did a nice job, I think the weather adds character to a city like London. We connected through Heathrow in 2011 and I would love to go back and actually go out into the city and countryside and see where my Dad's old airfield was

    You clearly haven't lived in Seattle!

    Nirvana was the only thing that ever made me want to live there. Well, that and N7470.

    I lived in London for about 3 years and you did a nice job capturing the city's atmosphere. LOVE your tube shot!
