Various spots in London

I had some guests during the Easter holiday. My brother visited me together with his girlfriend. I tried to show them around London, at least what we could fit into 5 days of sightseeing. In this post I'm including some of the photos I took during those days.

/My guests at the Tower Bridge - you can see if you take a closer look ;) /


/A picture at TATE Modern, and my regular picture of the London Eye/

These three pictures were taken on Brick Lane. I have not been in this area before, someone has suggested me, but I did not know what to expect from it.
Suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of the Sunday Market. Many local designers' products, antiques, food, some music events, graffities, garbage and lots of people of course. Another interesting area in London.



One of my personal favourite of this post is the picture on the right below, where a cab has been caught in movement under one of the railway bridges.





And finally a picture of a squirrel in St James Park. Fascinating how friendly and lovely these creatures are. Most of the passing people (basically tourist) just get mesmerized by them. So if you want to see a squirrel, you just need to look for groups of people taking picture of something in the grass, trees.

London by night - Tower Bridge

On 19th March, there was the biggest full Moon in 18 years. I decided to go and take some pictures about the so called "Supermoon". So before sunset, I had a walk to the River Thames, as I hoped to find a good spot there. Its closest point to my home is at Tower Bridge, which seemed to be a good environment enough for the Moon.
While waiting for the Moon's appearance I took some trials about the bridge and the Tower, this is one of them:



When the Moon turned up on the horizon, it looked quite big and unusual indeed. However, after it moved to a better place regarding the composition of the photo, its look was just regular. The Moon shooting was not successful, but I thought I upload the pictures at least becasue of the Tower Bridge.


(note the "big" Moon on the right bottom corner)

Just the usual, London

Being busy with school project, does not help me exploring the city. And even if I decided to visit some "unknown" areas, I just tend to be held up by the usual things. Today we had such a surprisingly sunny weather, I just could not stay sitting at my desk, so I opened up London´s sity map, and I pointed at Regent´s Park.
On the way, I came across the famous big wheel, the London Eye (or EDF Energy London Eye, how it´s called recently), and guess what has happened. I stayed there till dark.















I could not miss taking some photos from good old Big Ben with the Parliament in sunset, and some lampions which has been left there from last week´s Chinese New Year celebration (maybe I´ll post some pictures from that event next time).

























And some more clichés I wanted to add earlier. Well, there´s nothing to tell about the Tower Bridge, unlike that phone booth on the left. It´s actually situated on my way to school, close to my house. It gives an essence of the area ;)



And I will close this post with some interesting buildings I see almost every day. I thought I will finish writing earlier, but at half time I went to the kitchen making a coffee, when I had to face the fact that a mouse is enjoying my things in the larder cupboard. So as a break, it took some time to clean up the mess my new little friend has made. London has a surprise for me for every day. Cheers!
