End of walk

The following pictures are in a sequence which start at westminster tube station (underground/subway) then the London Eye, Walking past Saint Paul's Cathedral, the Thames path and finally arriving at Tower Bridge in London UK.

I had joined a newly formed company at the time and the owner of the place wanted some pictures on the walls and i volunteered to go out and take some pictures to put up in the workplace.

It was a very cloudy day, which is very common in London so I took most of the pictures in black and white and later added some effects using photoshop. This is the first time my pics are going online (eek!).

I came out at Westminster Station where I saw the abbey and the famous big ben which is a nickname of the great bell of the clock. I had to cross the westminster bridge in order to take a picture of the palace and big ben.

While crossing the bridge I saw the famous london double decker bus which was running for the last week before being phased out so i had to take a picture of one of the buses.

At the end of the bridge I saw a sculpture of a lion which aligned nicely with the path names...

After crossing the sculpture i turned back to look at the palace once again and took the following picture. Everytime i see this picture the background looks totally fake, but i can assure you that i took the picture myself and it's all 100% real. :)

I got to the London Eye and was really amazed at the way it was built ... I love watching mechanical objects at work.

This is an interesting place for me because I saw it in my dream very clearly approximately 5 years before i actually saw it in real life. I recognized it right away but was too busy looking at the place and forgot the name of the location.I guess this is how they used to sentence people to death in the earlier days.
