London 2014 - Churches


One year ago after our walk in the Cotswolds we parked ourselves in London for three nights to see the sights.  Our apartment rental overlooked The Tower.  It also overlooked All Souls Church.
  

Here's the spire at sunset.




Here's the church in The Tower.  Anne Boleyn lost her head on that green.  The clipped trees make them look almost like palm trees.


This photo was taken from The Eye of Westminster Abbey.  


Not sure if this was a church or not.


Westminster Abbey where we attended a moving Evensong at 5 pm and sat next to the altos in the boys choir. No photos allowed inside the Abbey.

London - One Year Ago

One year ago this was our final full day in London, England.  It definitely was quite a culture shock after being in the quiet hills and vales of the Cotswolds for the week before.  I know I didn't take as many photos as I had when we were walking.  Here are some I did take that are not the usual composition.

St. Pauls Cathedral




 Museum of London
Notice the gaping mouth!




Below a small garden that must have been a graveyard at one time.  I hope Marie of After 60 and the Next 10 can identify this one for me.



 More statures around St. Paul's.
