icepixieMany, many photos. I think I need to sleep now.
The narrative entry these pictures go with is here, for those who missed it.
ETA, June 2006: All of these photos are now located here.
Lights! Camera! Action! Thursday afternoon and evening
The promised better picture of the inside of Paddington Station
Her Majesty's Theatre, where Phantom of the Opera is housed
Another shot of Her Majesty's
Yet another shot of the theatre, 'cause it's neat-looking
Leicester Square at night
The Empire movie theatre in all its neon glory
The Victoria & Albert Museum, featuring wearable hoop skirts!
The outside of the V&A
Look! It's a Dale Chihuly chandelier! It will eat you!
Neat window in the lobby
Me in corset and hoop skirt, somehow mixing ballet with proper Victorian ladies
Ellen is amused by the Scarlet O'Hara regalia
Chandra is flummoxed by this whole Victorian thing
Whitney thinks its all a big joke
Whitney the whirling dervish!
Whitney doing a seizure dance. In a hoop skirt.
Whitney has...a fly on her nose?
Me sitting in the skirt. We hadn't figured out the trick at this point.
Chandra in the Sherlock Holmes coat.
Stewart, looking like he just stepped out of Baker Street.
Sherlock Holmes' dirty secret!
Ellen and Stewart are appropriately Victorian. Sort of.
Ellen before she figured out the trick to this sitting down thing.
Now she's got it.
So does Chandra.
Pretty painted ceiling somewhere in the museum.
The ceramic staircase
Ceramic staircase take two
Random pictures from Friday night
The natural history museum
The London Eye at night
It's very sad when a VW bug looks positively monstrouous in comparison to another car
Trafalgar Square, featuring lions, lamppost, and that guy who won some battle...
Trafalgar Square fountain
Same fountain, different angle
Nelson's backside
Pigeons
One of the lions
Same lion, different side
What is this guy doing?
Chandra braving the lion!
Whitney lounging on the lion like a hobo
Me...caressing the lion's butt. Yeah.
Whitney and Ellen getting up to pose with the lion...
There we go.
Big Ben in the distance.
A neat Georgian/neoclassical building.
Admiral Nelson!
Cool building with Latin inscription
Awesome lamppost
Various London symbols all arranged for my picture-taking pleasure
Covent Garden
A street performer dressed as a fairy
The windy businessman
Chandra giving pence to the mechanical man, who promptly swept them onto the sidewalk
The outside of the Covent Garden Market
St. Martin's Theatre, where Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has been running for 52 years.
Inside the Covent Garden Market
Classical music group playing downstairs
What happens when you turn the flash on for the same shot.
The Covent Garden Underground station at night
In and around Spitalfields Market
Cool architectural features in the Liverpool Street Underground/train station
Random church tower
Stumpy, the pigeon with no toes. Yet he kept stumping along...the heart of a champion!
Threadneedle Street
Sparkly butterfly clip I got at the market
The Phantom window display at some Oxford Street department store
(Some cool effects here where the glass reflected the street. I enjoyed them, anyway.)
Carlotta in pink
Masquerade!
The chandelier
Angel of Music
Christina looking very wanton in the boat. Also, you can see the Apple Store reflected in the glass!
Christine and the Phantom
Christine in a pretty white dress
The monkey!
The street festival going on in Regent Street
Regent Street all decked out
Cool cupola on a cool building
Big Santa display attached to the toy store
So I have this thing with neoclassical buildings with a lot of columns...
Santa was in London! And he was moving so fast that all I could take was a blurry picture...right...
Jugglers
Random Exeter pictures from today
Neat clouds outside my window
More neat clouds
Gorgeous sunset
More sunset
Pink sky
Yet more sunset stuff from outside Queen's
Bikes lined up beside a yellow rose outside the library. I've been eyeing this shot for its compositional merits for days, okay?
More of the same, with a different angle and not blurry. Of course, someone would take away the middle bike in between this morning and this evening, so it's not as cool as it would be had I done it earlier. Sigh.
