Goodbye, London… part 2…

I found a set of pictures I missed sharing with you…

a 1

These were all mixed in with my random London photos. After we saw the Queen, the baby Prince, and most of the Royal Family, we walked to Trafalgar Square… my favorite square ever named after a battle in the Napoleonic wars… seriously…

a 2

Of course it features a statue of the winner of that battle… Lord Nelson… on a pillar so tall that you really can’t see Lord Nelson unless you move away from him quite a bit.

a 3

It is both impressive and more than a little amusing.

a 4

The square is also famous for being the home of the National Gallery, and the large statues of the four lions that surround Nelson’s statue.

This bagpiper also inhabits Trafalgar Square, but they haven’t made a statue of him yet.

I apologize for doing a few extra posts today. I am going to get through these London pictures and then give you a break for a day or two… at least from pictures of the trip… I will do some other weird stuff instead.

a 8

We all know I do these posts about my adventures for myself as much as I do them for you.

a 9

It makes me feel like my journeys will live on forever.

a 10

And I get to relive them as I try to come up with little stories to make them come alive for you.

a 11

I consider that a win/win.

a 12

So try to bear with me.
