London Round 3

I am so fortunate to be able to visit London, yet a third time.  This time it's with Kristina, a friend since UOW.  We met in the art studios and have been friends ever since.  We have been talking about this trip ever since taking a 16th century art history trip and now here we are, waiting in the London City Airport for our flight to rome Italy.  We've spent the last four days in London doing all the "touristy" things we could and squeezing in a few art galleries. Now we wait but not before some serious WIFI time that we have missed out on.
These are some of my images from my new camera.  I'm a bit slow on the draw yet, I'm still figuring out all the manual functions. I bought a TZ60 Lumix with a 30x optical zoom that can save in RAW format.

This is Kristina in her "truest form".

I love this shot.  I'm playing with the creative features in the camera, this is starburst.

Tower bridge.

You might see more of me since I now have someone I trust with my camera.

This is the Tower of London.  A special memorial to remember the 888,276  who gave their lives in WW1.  This amazing installation pours from the side window and travels all around the tower in what was once the mote.  It was amazing and so was the crowd.

There is one poppy/lost life and they will be on sale after the show.

Whats that on the rock?

Oooo ducks.

Whats that on Vicki's knee?

Ahh... a soldier I think.  This is my 30x zoom, I'm having fun.

Outside Buckingham Palace.

Outside the National Gallery, notice how he appears to be floating

After going through this Gallery a second time I have to admit some of it was a bore.  So you just have to make your own fun.  Doesn't Mary took as if she is saying"just burp already"?

And hear just look at the size of the head of the man in the centre.  It reminds me off my first days of learning Photoshop.

This guy was with it's handler outside the Gallery.

This is a sightseeing tour bus that serves high tea.

It was delicious and so much fun.

I love this building (it's the m & m's store) and I may have shown you it from my first trip but this time I have a star filter.

We went to see wicked.  I have wanted so much to see this and I am so glad I waited, it is much more enjoyable to share with a friend.

What's that on the corner of the new Tate Museum?

Aworkman.

Our last night we spent with some gentlemen from the London branch of Desire to Learn(Kristina works for the Kitchener Branch/HQ).  Afterwards we visited Covent Garden, I love it there.
