Battle of Britain Monument: An Artistic Timeline

Greenwich Park

Some more good trees

Not a good photo but a good story: You see, this little fox and I have a connection. Recall the former Dr. Doolittle moment with the squirrel? Anyway, this fox ran off to chase a squirrel, and I wanted him to come back so I could get a photo of him. I employed the usually whistles and chirps that one uses to get animals to come their way. But this was a wild dog, and he wasn't having it. So I just yelled, "Hey! Come here!" And, lo and behold, he came trotting right over. We're buds now.

Treebeard's Cousin

Up close and personal with two of the many knotty trees of Greenwich Park.

White windswept grass and the foggy London cityscape. Can you dig it?

A bird bath made for a bird-king.

Staircase leading to the Queen's House

Hampstead Heath

No wonder Tolkien loved trees so much.

good woods

tall grasses on the heath

If you haven't noticed, I am obsessed with good fences.

Stairs

There are realities that we now see only as if they were reflected in water. But soon our eyes will be turned toward heaven.

Okay, so maybe it's not just fences...I love wooden barriers.

This nice little box exists for the sole purpose of collecting dog waste. So...there you have it.

My dream is to live in a modest house on a modest hill that is within reach of the city but not quite enveloped by it.

St. Paul's Cathedral

John Wesley - preacher, theologian, philanthropist - is honored here.

Saint Paul is there on the apex, and if you enlarge and look closely, you can see tourists on that tower balcony.

St. Paul's Clock Tower

If I could fly..., I would have gotten a better angle.

I think this golden statue is a depiction of Paul, but I'm not sure.

A Night with Winston and Abbey

If you're ever in London, be sure to visit the Cabinet War Rooms/Churchill Museum. This man was a rock.

The main purpose of this night photo mission was to get photos of Big Ben, but all those were garbage. Nonetheless, I think these ones of Westminster Abbey came out pretty nice.
