This week’s You Capture theme is lines. I was pretty excited because it seemed like lines are everywhere in London. The architecture in London is absolutely phenomenal, especially when you contrast the new with the old buildings that coexist on every street. I took over 700 pictures during my visit to London and I don’t feel like I even came close to capturing everything I saw during those few days.
Here are a few of my favorite “line” photos.
There were so many lights it was amazing. I’m sure it had much to do with the Christmas season, but I can’t help but think that London is probably lit up most of the year.
Streets of London – love the red buses.
Westminster Cathedral
Part of the floor in the Westminster Cathedral.
London Eye
Globe Theatre
Tate Modern – lots of lines inside too….
Tower Bridge
Buckingham Palace
Harrods

Great pictures!! I love London! And apparently I need to read your archives because I missed the whole “I’m going to London” part somewhere along the way!! Looks like you saw all the good sights, though!

Ooh, I especially love the one of the Tower Bridge! Beautiful! Never been to London but maybe we’ll get the chance in the next few years since we’re PCSing to Turkey in July!

I took my first trip to Harrods a few weeks ago. They were putting up all kinds of exhibits for the Wizard of Oz, but those red slippers were not there!!! Haha, they’re GINORMOUS!!!

Beautiful photos and you make me miss London, which we got to spend 6 weeks in a few years ago. However, that’s not Westminster Abbey (Anglican). That’s Westminster Cathedral (Catholic).
