London Eye in the Evening

Wishing you all a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year; I hope you've had a good start to it. 

In continuation to the London series (from my visit towards the end of 2011), here are a couple of shots of the London Eye, taken from low down.

This is one of the oldest palace's in London, though no sovereign has resided there for almost two centuries. This is at the other end of The Mall. Seen in its background is the iconic London Eye.

Here are two contrasting shots of the same artist; one a more vintage look with the black and white and the other a colourful one. What's your take?

An English Summer in Autumn - Hammersmith, London

An English Summer in Autumn - Hammersmith, London

I had heard a lot about English Summers and how people enjoy it by going out to the parks, enjoying the sun, their barbeque and much more. And it always interested me to experience it because summers in India are best avoided due to the excessive heat. While on a recent trip to London I was extremely lucky to see summer come back in autumn because of climate changes. Hope you enjoy the post, just like I did.

Summer is here again

People are out at the otherwise romantic dinner place enjoying their coffee and sun in the morning. People are also out jogging and cycling. 

The night life friendly pub next door too doubles up for people to enjoy English breakfast in bright sunshine

 Clear blue skies, bright sunshine and soothing shade and shadows tell me why the English summer is worth an experience
