Horse photos form the Royal Mews in London.

Nice clean shoes.

This one was impatient to finish his hour on the job.

Maybe he was getting sick of  tourists getting in his face.

Red

 

I think my first photo will…

indicated which country…

and city we are in this week.

I have been wanting to use this image for a while.

Over $AUD3.00 to sit down for an hour!?

And yet there must have been 50 or more

deck chairs just waiting for a sitter.

Or maybe the empty ones belong to those Londoners

who purchased a Season Ticket for just under $AUD180.00.

Bright red London bicycles.

 

 And finally the London Eye, just on dusk.

We stopped in at the Troia Cafe Bar Restaurant,

in Lambeth Road London for a light snack

prior to our London Eye experience.

We did not realise Troia served mainly Middle Eastern cuisine.

We just liked the look of the place.

And there was something which catered for our hunger on the menu.

However, the decor took our eye.

Beautiful, colourful lamps hanging from the ceiling

created a second to none ambience.

Troia Cafe Bar Restaurant will be remembered,

for all the right reasons.  

Good food, friendly staff and great decor.  

Totally opposite to our farewell dinner

the previous evening, in Paris.

Travel Theme-March

~~~~~

My

March

Travel Theme.

~~~~~

As many visitors do we waited at

Buckingham Palace for

the Changing of the Guard…or at least part of it.

 

We watched as a steady stream of tourists

marched to the Palace

 

And then were surprised to see a band marching from

the Palace precinct down The Mall…

 

followed by this group.

My feet envied this group.

 And still tourists came…

in their groups.

Finally the ceremony began.

However, I have been left wondering if budget constraints

have reduced the size, or number,

of personnel participating in this ceremony.

I am sure it was a grander affair in 1976.

But then again, wasn’t everything better

when we were younger.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Ambience

 

~~~~~

My contribution for this week’s challenge…

Ambience

~~~~~

While waiting for our turn on the London Eye…

we decided that we could do with some sustenance.

Our wanderings found us outside Troja Restaurant.

Troja is known for its Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Cuisine, however..

I will always remember the ambience created…

by these gorgeous lights, of which

I have posted but a few.

I should also add that the food was excellent also.

London

 

Some tourist images from London this week.

Glad my shoes  are not fixed  on like this,

although this member of

the Queens Horse Guard

did not seem to mind..

I found this dragon while searching for

Wordless Wednesday photos.

I could have used it in my

One Word Photo Challenge

this week.

Some London lamps which also

could have been used in

Cee’s Light – Dark Challenge.
