Regent Street, London at Christmas 2007
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London - the central stage
The Houses of Parliament + red bus
I love the London skyline, especially St Paul's Cathedral
The inner gardens at Windsor Castle
Some more of the gardens - you can tell I like gardens, can't you? There are at least 10 more snaps in the file. Bear in mind this is December time - can you imagine what it's going to be like in May??
Hmmm, I thought I had some of the fields and Stonehenge, but I guess they were on the other people's cameras. I have loads printed out, from the pre-digital cameras age. I hope these do for you, Aurrai-chan!

One day I'll come here and cosplay and take awesome photos. Haha while I was overseas travelling on tours, I was always imagining what series would be best to cosplay in different places (and in Asia if it wasn't Naruto, it was One Piece orz). I have no idea who would be suited to this place though. It looks like a castle!
The London skyline is so different than what I had imagined. I guess when I think of the downtown areas of cities, I think of skyscrapers.
I heard that the red buses were taken off the streets a few years ago. I hope they at least still have them as tour buses. Oh, and is that Big Ben I see? I wonder why he's called Big Ben…
As an student of English literature, the Globe is a place I must visit. I also want to see a real shepherd. And go to meet Mr. Darcy at Pemberley. YOU WILL PLAY TOURGUIDE FOR ME AND FULFIL ALL OF THESE WISHES, Y/Y? :D

For cosplay I'd go with something that has vampires in it! Also, FYI, I plan to have that photo professionally printed and framed for my wall! Gardening is one of my passions.
That is my favourite view of the London skyline. It's taken from the South Bank of the river Thames. There are many more skyscrapers over in Canary Wharf (the financial district) but because I love St Paul's Cathedral (the white domed building) I like this view much better.
The red busses that were taken off the roads were the really old version. The new version (like the one in the Big Ben photo) are fine. The old versions are now used as tourist busses and do hop-on-hop-off tours of London.
Re: Big Ben - Big Ben is actually the bell in the tallest tower of the Houses of Parliament. It was manufactured at the same time as the Liberty Bell in the US.
"YOU WILL PLAY TOURGUIDE FOR ME AND FULFIL ALL OF THESE WISHES, Y/Y? - ARE YOU KIDDING?? I WOULD BE THE ONE DRAGGING YOU TO THOSE PLACES. We can also go to Stratford-upon-Avon and Jane Austen's cottage (the latter is one of my lifelong ambitions).
