Rooftops of London

For a better look, we decided to see if we could walk to the roof of our hotel.  As luck would have it, the door to the roof was wide open.  I couldn’t help but think of Chim Chim Cheree:

There’s things half in shadow
And halfway in light
On the rooftops of London
Caw! What a sight!

A London Street

While vacationing in London, we stayed at a hotel on this street.  Everyday, as we would walk down this street to the subway, a certain song from My Fair Lady would pop into my head.

People stop and stare. They don’t bother me
For there’s no where else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won’t care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Natural History Museum Feature

Crash-into-Earth

 

Can you tell what this is?

I’ll give you a hint.

It’s in a London museum.

Another clue?

I’m guessing it’s about 50 feet across.

The hole is large enough for people to fit through standing up.

Ok. I’ve kept you in suspense long enough.

It’s the entrance to an exhibit about the history of the Earth in the Natural History Museum in London. There is an escalator that goes up through a giant globe. This is a long exposure so the people are blurred.

Here’s another picture so you can see it better.
