This week, we’re looking at W for World Famous locations. For Thursday, Westminster Bridge in London. With Big Ben. The Houses of Parliament. A Red Double-Decker bus. The Union Jack. The only cliches missing are a bowler hat, an umbrella, and a black cab! Actually, some of the cliches I mention aren’t actually accurately named.…
This week, our Travel pics series has been G for Gardens. The final image in the series comes from London. St James’ Park is one of eight ‘Royal Parks’ in London, and stretches from Buckingham Palace to The Mall and The Horse Guards. It has a lake, islands, waterfowl, and flowers aplenty – bed after bed…
This week, our letter theme is Z, for Zoology. For Saturday, it’s not-so-secret Squirrel! London had, for centuries, a thriving population of Red Squirrels, which frequented its parks and open spaces. Like this one, in St James Park. But This, as you might have noticed, is not Red. It’s Grey. That’s because someone let loose…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is Y – for You should see the view! We’ll start in London – and a classic view from St James Park toward the Blue Bridge and the London Eye. St James Park effectively extends from Buckingham Palace in the west to Downing Street in the east .. and…
The theme for our travel pics this week has been L for London – and we’ll wrap up with a picture that evokes images of OIiver, and Notting Hill, and other London-based movies. This is a street in Bayswater – these days a smart, cosmopolitan suburb of parks and Victorian era stucco terraces – but…
The theme for our travel pics this week is L for London – and for Saturday, it’s the Houses of Parliament,and Big Ben. Well, strictly speaking, it’s neither the Parliament, nor Big Ben. Big Ben, for example, is not the tower. Or even the clock. It’s the Great Bell, which is in the clock, which is in the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is L for London. Now, I don’t know what you picture in your mind when someone says “the Tower of London” – but I suspect it’s not this. But this is, in fact, the infamous tower. Why is it infamous? Because of its role as a…
The theme for our travel pics this week is L for London – and for Thursday, it’s another view of the London Eye. This was taken from Westminster Bridge, towards the Queens Walk, or Eastern end. It was taken in the gloom, and we thought this was an interesting juxtaposition between the old and the new…
The theme for our travel pics this week is L for London – and the Wednesday image probably isn’t all that unusual for people from the US, or the UK – but for those of us from the antipodes, all I can say is … Squirrel! This cute little feller (or feller-ette) was in Hyde…
The theme for our travel pics this week is L for London – for Tuesday, it’s Buckingham Palace. It used to be that you could get up-close and personal with these guards – but these days, the gates are firmly closed, and this image was shot between the bars of the fence. Originally built as…
