London / Christmas Along The Thames Pt 2

December 30, 2013 by Jonathan Chow in London

Just some more photo dumping. The 2nd half of shooting along the Thames on a rainy night.

I never knew about this, but this is actually a platform for a train station that they stretched over the Thames. Pretty neat way to wait for your train.

And of course the Millennium Bridge. It's only meant for pedestrians, but it's a elegant looking bridge.

Christmas is definitely London's favorite holiday.

Loved the look of this Guest Info building, reminds me of the sculpture on Lemaitre's album covers. Perhaps by the same person? Wouldn't surprise me.

Now in front of St. Paul's Cathedral. The rain started to really come down at this point.

London / Christmas Along The Thames Pt 1

December 24, 2013 by Jonathan Chow in London

Christmas is just a night away! A few nights ago I had a chance to just stroll around the city on a slightly rainy evening, so I grabbed my camera, set my playlist to some jazz and wandered around the Thames.

I started off around Holborn Station which is located in eastern central London. One of Michelle's school campuses is located here so I find myself in the area often.

Lots of narrow alleyways that normally are packed at all hours, but as Christmas approaches, everyone is mostly around the shopping areas like Oxford Circus.

The rain brings out a new element to the city, dripping light into crevices otherwise left alone in the darkness. Cars float across streams of white and yellow with hissing clouds on their tails.

South Bank always provides a colorful burst of life and activity.

Christmas Market on the Bank being a festive place to be.

London / Winter Wonderland

December 22, 2013 by Jonathan Chow in London

The Christmas season has descended on London and boy does the city of shopping love to show it! Today we went over to Winter Wonderland, a festival held every winter in Hyde Park. 

IMG_1685.jpg

Yup, London really loves Christmas.

Walked by this dealership near Hyde Park that offers Brabus, RUF, and Pagani. This super-rare supercar is the RUF CTR3, essentially is to a Cayman what the Hennessey Venom is to the Lotus Elise. I'd love to see this go against 9ff's GT9-R, another stretched out/monster powered Cayman that was build for more sheer speed.

And yes, that is an 800hp Brabus G Wagon in the background. #ballerlfe

But as much as I love Porsches, this Zonda what I really ached for.

Dear Santa...

Meanwhile in the Aston Martin dealer, we have the first Cygnet I've seen. I like it, would be a great little city car, except for one small problem: This is a Scion iQ with a $50,000+ pricetag. Small wonder why Aston Martin stopped making them last year.

And now to the wonderland!

Unfortunately it was a bit of a rainy night. The walk across the park was not exactly fun, but once inside protected from the wild wind, it wasn't too bad. And of course there was a gigantic ferris wheel.

Winter Wonderland is considered a festival but it's really just like a county fair to me. Rides, carni food and games are all here, they're just all Christmas themed.

Mmmmm, mulled wine...
