London, Baby!

It has been a while since my last entry. After leaving Norway, many things has happened, but most importantly, I have been accepted to the University of the Arts London. The course finishes in December, so I have almost a year to take pictures about London (and maybe other parts of UK as well) and document my stay. I am continuing my blog in a similar way I did before, but if anyone has suggestions for changes I would gladly hear about that ;)
So let the year begin in London, Baby!















Well, the fact is that London is actually the most populous city in the European Union. As I have never lived not even close to that sized cities before, my first impression about London was that it´s HUGE! And the second was: it´s still HUGE. Now I´m getting used to it (or at least trying to), but I´m sure it will take a bit more time.














Otherwise, it seems to be a very interesting city, with lots of places to go and lot of things to do. When I had some time, I started exploring some areas, visiting the Must See places or the most well known parts of London, specially in the centre. Therefore you can see some pictures of Big Ben and the London Eye, but you can see some famous skyscrapers and buildings like The Gherkin, Vertigo 42 and the Willis Building.




























Although they are over photographed by millions of people, even I cannot resist to take another picture of them. They are just look a bit different all the time I pass by, and maybe I can understand why so many tourist want to see them when they are happened to be in London.














And of course there are places which are not in spotlight but I still find them rather interesting.
