London during the day

Some brief pics of doing touristy stuff in London during the day.

First up the London Eye, basically the worlds largest ferris wheel, 135 metres high..with perhaps the worlds longest line after the better part of 3 hours Leonie and I eventually made it on, some pretty incredible views from up there.











Next we have Trafalgar Square with the National Gallery current home of Michelangelo's "The Entombent", Rapheal's "The Madonna of the Pinks", Leonardo's "The Virgin of the Rocks"..no Donatello's however there is also Monet's "Water Lily Pond" and Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"



Across from which you have Nelson's Column, as modelled by Bex, the column was built between 1840 and 1843 to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.





Finally we have a somewhat famous train platform at Kings Cross Rail station, as modelled by Leonie













And yes this was a couple of months ago but I am catching up...
