seeing sights

like the tourists we still seem to be we took a bus tour of london today to see the sights. with camera & map in hand I attempted to track which way we were ever heading & quickly gave up to gawk out the window at the tops of each street. the mixture of old old old and brand new architecture left me daydreaming about opening my imaginary fifth floor apartment window to my impossibly small balcony with only just enough room for a pot of my favorite flowers... 

favorite find : albert memorial in kensington gardens adorned with an impossible amount of gold
