Peter's Trip to England

London and Avebury (the home of the crop circle):
Me at Stonehenge
Stonehenge is right next to the highway and has *lots* of tourists milling around the path around the outside of it. You can't get any closer than this.

View of Stonehenge
This is the best view of Stonehenge. From this angle it looks as if it's mostly still standing, whereas in reality it mostly isn't.

The White Horse of Avebury
Inlaid into the hill by the local lord.

Tower of Big Ben
The tower of Big Ben at the northern end of the houses of parliament, viewed from Westminster bridge.

Houses of Parliament
On the west bank of the Thames. If this was an American movie, you would hear the first couple of bars of 'Rule Brittannia' being played, while the screen would be labelled "London, England".

St James' Park
Summer flowers in St. James' Park. Can anyone identify them?
St James' Park
Buckingham Palace
Well, there it is. There were Grenadier guards but they were over by the building and you couldn't get a good view of them. But they did walk funny.
Buckingham Palace
Australia
There was a statue representing each of the colonies. This one was Australia. Isn't the kangaroo cute?

Piccadilly Circus
The famous statue of Eros at the Circus, almost hidden under the swarm of seated tourists.

Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. They'd just cleaned several tons of bird shit from it. For some reason, the pigeons are wild about Horatio.

The Home of Cricket
A county game being played at Lord's cricket ground.

The Ashes
Yep, these are the actual Ashes. Even when Australia has them, they stay in the Lords' museum.

Tower Bridge
Just around the corner, next to the Tower of London.

The Prime Meridian
I'm at the Greenwich observatory, and I have one foot (the left one) in the eastern hemisphere and one foot in the western hemisphere. In the background, you can see the Millennium Dome.
