A Walk around London at Dusk

Just before the new year, I was able to take a walk around London as the sun set.  I enjoyed a different angle for photos of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament than my last visit or my trip in the fall of 2015.  This time I took a few (haha) photos as I explored.  Hope you enjoy them!

I loved this view when I came out from the tube and saw the evening light on the clock face.  When I crossed the bridge, I was struck by this doorway before turning around to check out the view across the river.

The view I’d been hoping for!

There was no way I could wait out all the people gathered there to take photos, so I decided to appreciate their presence in this photo.  🙂

Poor quality photo, but I like seeing the details on this lamppost.

I couldn’t get very close to this, but have appreciated this prayer on the side of Westminster Abbey since I saw it last year.

Checking out where the Prime Minister lives… it seemed pretty secure.  🙂

London: The Obligatory Photos

Hello again!

I’m trying to knock out these London posts so I can post more up-to-date photos soon.  Most of these photos need little description since they’re the shots everyone gets when in London, so here you go!

This is the church where I attended Bible Study Fellowship during my trip… conveniently located between Buckingham Palace and Big Ben!

A great place to get fish ‘n chips!

On a work day, I was able to visit the building where my sister’s church meets, St. Botolph’s, Aldersgate, to get photos of the beautiful sanctuary…
