Some photos of my stay in london thus far are below. Also tripped over the filming of Last Chance Harvey while walking the River Thames.

Tower Bridge


Some weapons in the London Tower

A moat around the tower, once filled with water and human waste ("sewer system"), now fertile grass land :)



LIfe isn't complete without a shot of the famous clock tower and its loud bell, big ben:



Uploaded a few others, here.

Now, to see how the images utterly destroy the blog in their overall width...

@Venom, I believe the moat was originally 2x the width of the one you see now. As the bridge in the distance on the right side was called something like "mid-bridge" because it was once in the middle of the moat. The original moat on the right was turned into...well, streets, it seems.

Tower Bridge is one of the sexiest bridges ever.

Dude, it's intense. I didn't get any photos while standing on it because my battery died. I had to foot the bill for a new one, 29.99 GBP so like $60 USD Plus 17% VAT... :-|

Nice pics. But your blog background is creeping me out in a BIG way.

Wow those are some great shots, man! I keeps saying, the first thing I do when I get some money is travel -- first to either China or Japan (mostly for the food).

Great bunch of pics, dude. I'd love to go visit/tour the UK (and Ireland). Especially on someone else's dime.
