Saturday in London





Blue heron in St James Park


Very angry adult birds because of the threat
of the dog on shore.  One of the geese had 7
goslings.


Goslings protected by angry geese



Swan hissing at the small dog who was seen as a 
threat to the goslings

The plaque says that the original name was

Monument to the SOE during WWII
This monument is in honour of all the courageous S.O.E. Agents: those who did survive and those who did not survive their perilous missions.



This is not an unusual sight...an old building remaining
among the new.  This one is the Cafe Rouge.


Westminster Cathedral
(not the Abbey)





 Westminster Abbey




















The Ferris wheel can be seen from so many
locations in London.  



honoring Cecil Rhodes



Household Cavalry
in Hyde Park



Ibis close to Diana Memorial Fountain



all over London.  They are great picture opportunities
but are there to sponsor a 
children's charity.
This one is in St James park.

Apparently there is no law in London about which side of
the road you can park.

Inside Victoria Station



This impressive wall with barbed wire along the top is
the wall around the palace private gardens.


We have seen this engraved message on several buildings as
we have walked around London.
