The Tower of London

Tower Bridge, taken from the Tower of London.

Legend has it that if the Tower of London is ever abandoned by these Ravens, the Tower and England will fall. These bird were huge, about 1.5' tall. Several birds are kept permenantly in cages to avoid the dred prophecy.

This building houses the crown jewels. I never thought I was a jewlery girl, but I have to admit, those were some very pretty sparkly stones!

Looking towards the Jewel House.

The White Tower, or the original Tower of London. It was built by William the Conqueror, who happens to be my 27th great grandfather. Unfortunately, he was a rather unpopular fellow, hence the building of the Tower.

Another view of Tower Bridge.

The Millenium Wheel.

The Clock Tower at Westminister Palace that holds Big Ben. Big Ben is just the name of the 13th bell.

These last two pictures were taken by Naomi after we parted on the 21st. I think this shot is just wonderful. You are looking across the Thames toward Big Ben tower and the Parliment Buildings.

The Shakespeare Globe Theater.
