I decided to do a Photography walk/tour around London this morning. The winds were icy and my guide wasn't to keen on heading out in the cold but the morning ended up being a ripper. I had a 1 on 1 photography tute with a pro. I learned some very useful basic concepts and methods which will help a great deal in my work. The tour was fantastic too, we managed to squeeze in the changing of the guards at Buckingham, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster, Trafalgar square and a few other places. Not bad for 30 quid.

I woke up to snow today. It's the first time I've ever seen snow. I'm so excited! It's steadily getting harder, so the streets might be thick with snow tonight! It's 2pm and the temperature has maxed out at 1 degree celsius. It will be dark in an hour. Sigh..

Took a look around Parliament, Big Ben, London Eye, Westminster. Astonishing architecture and history. Spotted Boudica statue which was a highlight for me.
It was freezing in Camden so I picked up a WWII army issue winter coat for 30 quid. No more layers now. It's the warmest thing in London.

I visited Buckingham Palace and the surrounding parks and statues. The weather was great but still very cold. The statues of Queen Victoria were incredible. She's really ugly though haha.

Tower of London, London Bridge
View from Chris's kitchen window/balcony.
Shane and Mike took me up into the hills (Bathwick Hill) overlooking Bath. Fantastic vistas. It was like going back in time looking over the heritage listed city. We sat up there drinking Bundaberg Ginger Beer and listening to heavy metal until it started to get dark. Golden!
The Circus
XMAS arvo in the backyard slammin' down Foster's tins in our boardies and thongs (I had slippers!). It was minus 2 degrees! haha not used to that.
