Blue Crab Yo-Yo Photography

Normally I would not put two images from two different places together, but this is an exception.  On the left, my brother, at Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis.  On the right, a sign, at The Duke of Wellington in London.  Both are on quaint little streets, both have a good atmosphere, and both server beer:  so do both cause and solve all problems? There’s only one way to find out.

Butler’s Wharf, London.  Completed in 1873, Butler’s Wharf was once the largest warehouse complex on the Thames. It is now home to a design museum, luxury apartments, and restaurants.  This photograph, with its long pathway and vibrant colors, makes me want to jump right in and walk around.

The Chelsa Football Club Stadium, named Stamford Bridge, on Fulham Road in London is marvelous.  Bright colors, controlled lines, and a rich history… it is a must see attraction.  The official website states the stadium opened in 1877 and was designed by Archibald.

No trip to London would be complete without visiting Portobello Market on a saturday morning.  After a brief rainstorm I found these oranges and apples sitting in silver colander’s on a black pull-cart.  Lovely.

After exploring the Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill exhibit at the Tower of London in London, England I came across cobblestone and blue doors outside.  Cobblestone streets are some of my most favorite things in life.

London, England.  View from the London Eye which has won over 75 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement since opening in March 2000.

London, England.  As the moon rises the sky becomes outlined by rooftops.  View from a hostel window on a hot summers night.

The British Museum in London has a fantastically bold ceiling and is home to the Rosetta Stone which is a valuable key to the decipherment of hieroglyphs.

London, England.  The old vs. new always catches my eye.  These buildings are near King’s Cross Station.
