London View from Parliament Hill

I had to make a trip to Warsaw towards the end of May for an urgent family matter. Warszawa Głowna is Warsaw Main, a museum of Polish trains and transport. I didn’t know that at the time and just thought it apt that the Warsaw sunset was certainly “glowing.”

Night out of New York

Day in England

Foggy Water Tower Morning

Manhattan from the Turnpike

Brief visit to NYC and New Jersey, providing a foggy, cross-wired view of Manhattan from the NJ Turnpike.

Views from the Bridge

Night Out, London

We went to the West End Theatre at the beginning of the month (Hamnet). This was the view from the bridge on the walk back to Waterloo Station afterwards, with St Paul’s cathedral prominently lit.

Dusky Thames

Headed home, walking over the Golden Jubilee Bridges to Waterloo Station and the train to Farnham the day before Christmas Eve.

London and the City

Walking back to Waterloo station on the Southbank and the sun came out illuminating the dome of St Paul’s, I stopped to take an in-camera jpeg sweep panorama.

from the Millennium Bridge

After the Tate Modern last week, I crossed the Millennium Bridge, walking to the Barbican Centre. Here are a couple of standard views from the bridge.

Manhattan Skylines

We took a walk around the Central Park Reservoir with the light just perfect so I shot an in-camera sweep panorama looking towards the East-Southeast. Then, after about a 3/4 circuit, another shot of the southern park skyline with the impudent new needle-nose skyscrapers giving us the finger, below.

Back in NY

Train to Chicago

After seeing the glass and steel architecture up close on the Chicago River, our tour boat pulled out into Lake Michigan to provide sightseers the opportunity to snap views of the skyline. Click on any of the pictures below to see them all bigger.

Glass

We went on a touristy architectural boat tour of Chicago focused mostly on the big glass and steel towers of downtown. I think because glass reflects its surroundings, it’s an easy way for an architect to say their building fits in its environment. Click on any of the images below to see them all enlarged.
