A London Visit

Here we are on, of course, Baker Street. Sherlock kept his flat here and his consulting business from 1881 to 1904.














Covent Garden is one of the very interesting market areas in London. There are many different types of vendors and shops, some inside under glass (as in an old fashioned greenhouse held up by intricate iron work) and some opening to the street.











Here's a view of the Westiminster Abbey, located near the south side of Parliment Square. London at night is spectacular.














Both the London Eye and the building to the right change colors rather rapidly. Just as you turn back to it after directing your attention elsewhere, the palette of color has changed offering a new perspective to the view.












From the otherside of the Thames, the Parliment Building looks massive and powerful. It's color remains constant in the soft yellow, creating an impression of the strength of the government.
