The View From Here

more photos of Cornwall.


Leicester Square at New Year. Over the Christmas season they have a fair in the square and it's great. This is where all the main cinemas are located, with a kind of quadrangle gardens in the centre. I love it round there, always so busy. There are always musicians, street performers and artists to watch - great atmosphere.
Tower Bridge. Taken from the North Bank near the Tower of London and Traitors Gate. I remember it was very cold this day but beautifully sunny at the same time. Incidentally we ate in a McDonalds kind of built in the same brickwork beside the tower, very unusual and it felt great to get warm in there.

Big Ben, part of the Houses of Parliament - very intricately and beautifully decorated if you zoom in by camera or video as I did. Just love to be there when it chimes!
Detail of St Pauls Cathedral. We walked down Mayfair on New Years Day (this was about 4 years back with Mum), it was morning and so very quiet - obviously most people were recovering from the night before. This was the same day as visiting Tower Bridge, cold but beautiful and we felt we had London to ourselves there.

These next 4 photos are of Portsmouth, England.
