Mind The Gap vol4.
Still minding the gap. :)
London. Not just a town for approx 8 million people, fully loaded with history, but a town where the nature and the city meets. I've never thought that a city could have this diversity of animals, plants, flowers. You can walk a few hours to see the historical buildings (Yup, Big Ben, The Tower), see the glass-iron-concrete beauties (The Gherkin, the still under construction Shard), but anywhere you go, you will face with parks. Hyde, St. James, Kew Garden.... Steel, glass, granite, grass, wood... A complex system.
I was amazed by the "Royal Squirrels" in the St.James, or next to the Planetarium, or the Mighty Pigeons in Kew garden.
Making photos about nature is always difficult, especially when you're a tourist. An animal looks good on pictures, if you can show them. ( Usually running like hell, and disappears before you can lift your gear.)
To show the beauty of the nature usually comes with macro photos ( which is almost impossible if you're not prepared for short-range photos). But if you're there, well, you have to - at least try - to show it.
Well, I've tried.

Mind The Gap vol3
Still mind the gap.
The most amazing thing in London was the architecture. It's stunning how the old buildings and the new High-tech offices are matched together.
You just walkin on the streets, and you can see how the future can be integrated into the past. It's like a time-travel. you can use your imagination and see the what-if-i-were-live-that-time.
