Mews Living in London

Shot with Olympus E520
I'm not certain why this photo appeals to me, Partly it's the squashed up feel, with the door recesed far inside, partly it is the contrast the size (small) and the cost (huge) as this is a mews address behind Harley Street. Mews houses were originally the stables to the grand houses at the front, you can see a wide view here. Think I'm exaggerating the cost? click here (this is in Harley Place).

For whom the bell tolls

Shot with Olympus Trip
I don't really need to say anything about this, do I? After all, we all know that this is the world's biggest four faced clock and that Big Ben is the name of the bell, not the tower. And you can find out lots (and hear the chimes) on Wikipedia.

Once again, the 30 year old Trip has acquitted itself well (any lack of sharpness is due to being digitised on my flatbed scanner)

Burger, anyone?

Shot with Olympus E510
The Burghers of Calais is a Rodin sculpture that you can see in any one of a number of places (12, to be exact), the original is still in Calais but this particular one is just by the Palace of Westminster. Rodin's intent was to show that "heroic deeds are performed at great sacrifice by average people".

See where on the London Daily Photo Map
