Great view on the St. Jamesโ€™s Park, looking like the Island of #Avalon expecting our visit...

"When waters stirred lay silent
Mistress let the mists descend
Thy tears cannot thaw Death's cold heart
His sombre gaze defies legend
More so than thine lest thy dew-lidded eyes
Art for the Banshee's song
Or our souls entwined like vein upon
The haunted shores of Avalon"

(CRADLE OF FILTH, "The haunted Shores of Avalon")

Sunset over a serene lake with a central fountain spraying water upwards, surrounded by lush green trees reflecting in the water. In the foreground, reeds and yellow flowers are visible at the water's edge.

June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.

A metallic sculpture of a medieval knight in full armor reclines with interlaced hands near his chest and a peaceful expression on his face. The knight wears a detailed helmet with chainmail, ornately engraved armor showcasing floral patterns, and jointed gauntlets. His legs are slightly bent, and his feet rest near a three-dimensional lion head, part of the sculpture. The setting includes a dark background with metallic bars, possibly indicating an indoor location.

Many cities have their own flair which makes them simply special. Looking over the river Thames, I see many aspects that made me fell in love with London. Time to visit this place again next months: Finally!

Aerial view of the River Thames in London, featuring busy water traffic including boats and barges. The Shard skyscraper dominates the left side, while various other modern buildings line the riverbanks. Multiple bridges span the river, and the cityscape includes recognizable silhouettes such as St. Paul's Cathedral in the distance under a clear blue sky.

Elizabeth Tower powered by Big Ben looking down on Westminster Bridge at down. While many aspects and sceneries of London change, this one is made to endure and survive everything!

A vertical image of Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, against a cloudy sky during twilight. The tower is illuminated, highlighting its intricate Gothic architecture and the famous clock face. Below, the Westminster Bridge spans over the River Thames with archways and light posts. A red double-decker bus is visible on the bridge, along with several pedestrians.

Despite having my opinion towards Christendom and rather following the Nordic beliefs, I always admired the ways especially cathedrals were built in the well-known gothic style.

It's amazing what people were able to create in the Middle Ages just for God's sake and if you've ever read Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" you will know what I am talking about - this archway of Canterbury Cathedral's inner courtyard is a piece of architectural excellence in terms of a gothic building!

Vertical image of an ornate gothic cloister passage with vaulted stone arches and intricate ribbed ceilings. The pathway features worn gray stone slabs and is lined with numerous slim columns adorned with detailed carvings. Near the far end, an enclosed glass lantern hangs above a placard mounted on the wall. Sunlight filters through openings on the right, creating a play of light and shadows along the corridor.Arched stone corridor of a Gothic cathedral with intricately carved columns on the left, leading to a grassy courtyard visible through the openings. The walkway is paved with stone tiles, exhibiting wear and varying shades. Sunlight illuminates the corridor, enhancing the texture and detail of the stone architecture.

The Anchor is a pub in the London Borough of Southwark. It is in the Bankside locality on the south bank of the River Thames, close to Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station. A tavern establishment has been at the pub's location for over 800 years and I stumbled upon this great scenery by coincidence back in 2015.

Brick facade of 'The Anchor' pub with red window frames and signage displaying the name and beverage offerings. A chalkboard sign advertises a Sunday roast near the entryway. The pub features intricate details like potted plants and vines climbing around and above the entrance, which is labeled "Main Entrance & Roof Garden." The street is cobblestoned, enhancing the traditional appeal.

Today is May 4th so it's still the "May the Force be with you"-day. Reason enough to dig into my archive and reveal this great guy once performing in London, using the force to levitate. This picture is ten years old these days but a classic nevertheless!

A street performer dressed as Yoda from Star Wars, appears to float with the aid of a green staff that extends to the ground covered in matching fabric. The performer is on a city street with passing cars and a blue taxi, near signage indicating Trafalgar Square. A tip jar sits on the pavement nearby.

And yet another one from lovely #Soho made while the night conquers day! Life and scenery here in Soho are aspects that make this part of London a very special one!

Narrow city street at dusk lined with old multi-story buildings illuminated by streetlights and neon signs. People walk along the sidewalks, and a wet road reflects the lights.

Always nice to visit #Soho in the darker hours of the day - the change between light and darkness is astonishing here while all the shops and pubs illuminate the scenery!

Twilight over a wet city street corner with a prominent red building labeled "The Glassblower" lit with warm lights. Sidewalks glisten under streetlamps, reflecting pedestrians and the dusky blue sky. Other buildings fade into the background.

#Soho is always worth a visit and while the day came to an end, finding an (illuminated) bookstore in this place was a pure joy - despite the adult's books advertised here! Shops like this somehow define the classic flair Soho ever had so I was quite happy to make this shot!

Nighttime view of "Soho's Book Shop" facade lit by neon signs, featuring a green storefront and large, brightly lit display windows filled with books and posters. A person stands outside, slightly left of center, looking at the shop's window.

At almost twice the height of any other viewing platform in the capital, The Shard offers visitors unparalleled 360-degree views for up to 40 miles (supported by the best weather condition!) and is the definite viewpoint of London!

Tall glass skyscraper extending sharply into a cloudy sky, towering over traditional brick buildings in the foreground.

Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. It was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction which is the iconic centre of London for many people these days.

Large, vibrant advertising screens at a bustling urban intersection with pedestrians and double-decker buses, set against a backdrop of historic architecture under a cloudy sky.

The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill.

It is also famous for being one of the most-infamous prisons during the Middle Ages in English history.

Large, historic stone castle with multiple turrets and a distinctive gate, located beside a river. Several people are visible near the base, and the sky is clear and blue. A small text on a wall reads "Entry to the Traitors' Gate."

It's not that often that you encounter the process of the Tower Bridge being raised. In fact it just happens approximately 800 times a year and is always worth a look in wonderful London! While the periods of time are sometimes short, sometimes longer, this view is something special nevertheless.

Tower Bridge in London, featuring two prominent towers with pointed roofs connected by upper walkways, set against a clear blue sky. The bridge is partly raised, displaying its bascule (drawbridge) mechanism in action. Visible are intricate architectural details on the Victorian Gothic towers and the blue and white color scheme of the bridge structure. A UK flag flutters atop one tower. The Thames River and riverbanks are visible, with architectural buildings in the background.

At almost twice the height of any other viewing platform in the capital, The Shard offers visitors unparalleled 360-degree views for up to 40 miles (supported by the best weather condition!) and is the definite viewpoint of London!

In this centered view on a nearing gloomy evening, it is underlined that The Shard is defining London's skyline like no other building.

This image features a panoramic view of London's skyline at a time when the sky looks overcast. Dominating the center of the image is The Shard, which is a notable skyscraper in London known for its distinctive, sharply pointed shape. Surrounding The Shard, you can see a spread of other buildings that vary in height and design, typical of a bustling city landscape. The overall mood conveyed by the cloudy sky and distant cityscape suggests a vast, gently bustling urban environment.

"When you trust your inner guidance and begin moving in the direction of your dreams (aligned with your individual gifts) you will be cloaked in an armor bestowed upon you by your guardian angel."

(Charles F. Glassman)

This image features the interior of a beautifully decorated dome, likely from a cathedral or a significant historical building. The dome's ceiling is adorned with intricate frescoes depicting various figures, which could be religious or mythological scenes. Directly at the center of the dome is an opening or an oculus, which allows natural light to illuminate the artwork inside.

The frescoes include detailed images of people in various poses and interactions, set within architectural settings that include columns and arches. Surrounding the central opening are decorative patterns and designs that embody a classical style, with elements like rosettes and detailed moldings, adding to the ornate and grand atmosphere of the space. The mix of art and architecture highlights the skill and aesthetic sensibilities typical of Renaissance or Baroque periods.
