Spring on the Thames

A few things you should do when in London:

• Visit the Tate Modern museum & other museums,
• See the view from the London Eye or up The Shard,
• Walk around the Tower of London and or go up Tower Bridge,
• Stroll through Camden Town; visit Cottons bar and taste some Caribbean rums,
• Visit Kew Gardens (better during Spring and Summer),
• Visit the sites in Greenwich; see the Cutty Sark,
• Walk along the Thames River

Personally, I do not see the big deal in visiting Madame Tussauds but that is just because I am not too fussed about see celebrities. Do visit if you are into that though.

LET ME KNOW WHERE ELSE YOU HAVE VISITED!

The following are a few of my favourite pics from a stroll along the Thames River...

Please do feel free to LIKE the post and leave me your feedback. I do look forward to hearing from you :)

 

 

 

 

The View from The Shard

I decided to take a trip to "the top" by visiting the observational deck of The Shard, the tallest building in the European Union as at today 18th February, 2015 standing at 306 m (1,004 ft).

It was everything I thought it would be with amazing views of London for miles around. You can see everything from the 72nd floor; Wembley Stadium, Canary Wharf, London Eye, etc with the mighty Thames river running through it all, winding its way, creating the illusion that every destination is merely seconds away from the other.

The next time I decide to scale the tower, I will ensure it is night time so I can capture the beauty of London and the snaking Thames when the lights are on and city truly comes alive with colour.

The following are three (3) pictures I took to share with you and hope you enjoy them and feel free to LIKE and comment on your favourite(s):

Tower Bridge not to be confused with London Bridge

Estonia; my first trip

Pictures from my first trip to Estonia. I had an absolutely amazing time; went during the summer solstice. Met lots of lovely people and ate very delicious foods. I would totally recommend everyone visit Estonia at some time if the opportunity arises :)

The pictures below only give a glimpse of how colourful and refreshing the country is.

I hope you really enjoy the pictures and as usual, feel free to leave me your comments... the negative ones you can send to my electronic pager and I will respond in due course  :)

Panaromic Old City

Tilt-Shifting

I was bored and so decided to see what photography related joys the internet had in store for me. While roaming about I once again bumped into an article about tilt-shift photography and decided to give it a go in hopes of producing some good images. I had been thinking of getting around to it for a while but kept putting it off.

The whole idea behind tilt-shifting is to make things look miniaturised and therefore they will stand out in a photo with an almost 3D effect.

I know I can count on your feedback so let me know your opinions and feel free to make any suggestions.

Direction: Right to Left then Down; repeat

Outside

Just a stroll from home and these are some of the things I come across; beauty is everywhere and in everything. Keep your eyes open and really see... don't just look.

Oooh, how I love flora... :)
