A skateboarder's heaven underneath a bridge downtown.
An accidental picture that turned out kind of cool.
Another Wall's ice cream sign. I think I have a picture of this in almost every city I've visited!
Interesting modern art display in the Tate Gallery. This was created by Cornelia Parker, who is known for works in which she appropriates objects and subjects them to acts of violence. For this piece, called
Thirty Pieces of Silver, she scoured junk stores, garage sales, and garbage dumps for silver objects no longer wanted by their owners. This included plates, spoons, candlesticks, teapots, and even a trombone. She then laid them out on the road and arranged for a steamroller to come roll over them. She arranged the flattened silver into thirty circular "discs" and suspended them from the ceiling. Weird, but cool!

Because of the sordid history of the Tower of London, I always experience a strange feeling when I see this structure. It's great for you to see all these interesting places, sodid as they may be. Love, G & G
ReplyDeleteWow...what a lot of great pictures and experiences. Did you go into the Globe Theatre? It looks so beautiful. I also love the Walls' ice cream signs...boy do they ever know us well. Keep having fun!

Boy, the washroom signs should not confuse even those unnamed persons who tend to get them mixed up!!
