Scrolling Through London: A Virtual Tour

Holland Park

I wish I had the photography skills to capture the beauty of this park in the height of fall, but sadly most of the striking features are lost in translation from reality to the lens of my camera. The theme of this blog is circles.

Adorable? I'd say yes.

What great knockers!

Why sshank you dohctor

Cute for submarines and British flats

CoolPix massive zoom

Looks like a preying mantis doing hula-hoop

when it is upside down

Gum: gross, but circular

The gates to Eden

Little Venice

In the middle of a British city like London you would never expect to be confronted with quaint canals filled with Venetian gondolas and little Tuscan villas with palm trees in their courtyard; but that's what is so great about London--it always surprises you!

Wouldn't be Italy without a speeding vespa that

almost runs you over

Ninja Turtle's girlfriend?

Cue the swarthy Italian boat owner

If it weren't for the very-English gray sky in the

background this scene would definitely belong

on a Prego bottle

If anyone got the arch it was the Romans

Hey look, Italians in the flesh!

I thought that palm trees were tropical,

are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

Walk Of The Superstars

I thought it only fitting that on the day we found out the new leader of our nation, I should do a walk with the theme of change. Change is especially visible in a city like London where it is always changing with the different people that come through everyday; from the clothing styles to the architecture and even food. The only thing constant is that nothing will be constant.

Change has come to America

We go from pumpkins to Santa with the change of holidays.

Scaffolding, while a pain, always means change

From trash to cash

Change in body styles.

The burning bush

The great change

Change of weather is imminent here

Theater Walk

2008-11-08T14:01:00.000-08:00

In a city like London there’s always something to do, but sometimes it’s not as wide of a variety as there is in the West End. In light of that, I chose the theme of entertainment for my Theatre Walk. Whether you like a show that can make you question the meaning of life, or a musical that leaves you questioning whether there was a meaning in the show, or you want a meal that will make you feel so full that you would never want to eat again, or just a little scoop of gelato, there’s something for everyone on the Theatre Walk.

Definitely a Thinker Play

Thinking? Not so much

Buy something cute for a show?

A girl’s gotta eat right?

Gelato: Always a Must

Just enjoy some architecture?

Holla At Your Family?

Maybe A Taste of The Classical at St. Martin’s?
