Cityscape A walk through London 2

A walk through London 2 · 09:54 AM

What Americans call the "Subway" is actually an underground passage way for pedestrians here

This is what's called the London Underground or "Tube".

That tube gets you to Waterloo Station, in this case at ten to three in the afternoon - Industrial Revolution architecture at its best:

No tourist can bypass the Tower of London:

And of course St. Paul's Cathedral although I opted for this rather than a straight touristy shot:

Mike, these are super creative and every enjoyable to view! Finding new perspective on all things vernacular and touristy is a hard task, and you did it extremely well!! I especially like your take on the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Thank for sharing

nice shots. I loke taking shots in the Tube/Subway and keep meaning to take a trip to London just to shoot this.

Nice. Everytime someone can avoid a "London Photography Cliche", I say bravo!
The Tower of London and St. Pauls are especially hard.
Oh, and don't drive into central London. I just got hit with close to $400 of penalties ( 3 cars on the three days).

Really enjoyed these Mike! Did you find platform 9 and 3/4.

Looked long and hard but I suppose that, being all grown up, I'm not really meant to find it! What would an old geezer like me be doing at Hogwarts anyway? My magic is gone

A very good and well composed series of shots.

**Cee Cee** · 11-14-2012, 06:01 PM

great shooting, really admire your creativity, that's something I struggle with, cheers.

I dunno I'd beg to differ and suggest there's a fair bit of magic in your shots!

Nice to see some color in England. Most people think it is only gray :-)

Teaching young wizards!

Never figured you for an old geezer, your images are so fresh and vital.
