London / The National Gallery & Big Ben

As daylight began to fade away, we were going to make one more stop before calling it in. In the States, we have plenty of progressive architecture as well, but I it seems like Europe utilizes the exoskeleton-style more. I can dig it.

When the sun is actually out to set and you can get somewhere clear of buildings, the sky can look pretty impressive. Hello your Majesty.

Arriving at Trafalgar Square in front of the National Gallery.

Several street performers had set up around the area, including this fella who could levitate. How does it do it?! And why is he always holding onto that pole...

Managed to grab the two shots inside before being promptly told, unlike the Tate, photographs weren't allowed. Definitely a museum worth going to though. There was plenty of Monet, Van Gough and Manet pieces in addition to a plethora of impressionist and 17/18th century Dutch paintings which I generalize as my favorite styles of classical artwork.

As you can probably tell, this was still before Christmas decorations were taken down.

Some fancy police cars here...

...and even fancier personal cars! From every angle, the new Vanquish is a beautiful machine to look at, especially in that color-catching silver. Mmmmm

Some four months in and we finally went to see Big Ben.

Then we went to grab some dinner and go home. A pretty successful day playing tourist.
