For Your Viewing Pleasure

     I've been noticing that I have a tendency to use a lot of words, particularly with this blog. Today's post will be a deterrent from that course as I will now show you some of my favorite pictures that I have taken thus far. But of course since it is me, I may be adding "brief" commentary to my selections.

Bedford Place: This is one of the first pictures I took here. It's just down the street from my flat, but to me it's one of the most London-esque scenes I've yet to see.

The Streets: En route to the British Library, I snapped this in the middle of the street. It's so ordinary, but I can't tell you how much I love it. For some reason Mumford & Sons "Winter Winds" comes into my head every time I see it.

Tower Bridge: Ever lovely and, surprisingly, kind of green.

Scene of It All: From inside the gates of White Castle.

Big Ben: the most iconic London image and beautiful building in the city.

Big Ben II: I just like to play with angles.

On the Thames: The London Eye and a riverboat. I feel like I keep taking postcard snapshots instead of artistic pictures. Oh well, I'll still take it.

Cutty Sark: I don't remember a thing about the story of the Cutty Sark. But they turned it into a monument in the middle of Greenwich Square so I guess it has a pretty good one.

Is This UVA?: No, it's not UVA. It's just Greenwich Park... just casually being wonderful.

The Middle of the Universe: This is the marker for the Prime Meridian. 

In Two Different Worlds: In many ways, I was in two different worlds standing there. It wasn't just eastern and western hemispheres, it was (ok, sorry about this. English major problems) like a metaphor for my adventure over here: straddling my culture and a new culture, where my life was and where it's going.

Perfect: Greenwich is perfect. This town made me feel like I was home, and I would love to call it that someday.

As Always, London Love, Kristen
