Evey Pinkham's Pictures of London

Sunday morning in Hyde Park

While walking to Hyde Park Corner, this group of chairs and people in silhouette reminded me of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". I liked the anonymity.

The old and new, again

This time, the Tower of London juxtaposed against a very modern dome-shaped building. Anybody know what that building is?

Piccadilly Circus

I found it interesting that instead of a world clock telling the time, it was counting the days until the new James Bond movie!

On a London street, a hanging flower basket over phone boxes.

I think the presence of red phone boxes makes any street a happy one.

Spires

Walking down Oxford Street, I turned to the right and saw this interesting play of angles against the spire. Couldn't help wondering what the spire thought of all those cranes.

Old and New Again

A slightly different old and new - technology this time. It will be a very sad day when the UK no longer needs its wonderful red call boxes because everyone has a cell phone.

Parliament

Concentrating on Parliament on this one, and lucky enough to get a double decker bus in the shot. No one seems to be going in the other direction on Westminster Bridge!

Natural History Museum

I loved the angles created by the stairway and trusses against the curve of the wall. Unfortunately, it was a an overcast day or there might have been some light streaming in from those skylights.

Big Ben Looming

I saw Big Ben as I was walking down the street, looming in the background as if keeping a 'watchful' eye (please excuse my terrible pun) on these other neighbourhood buildings.
