London Photo Trip

London is one of my favorite cities for a weekend getaway. It has been for a long time. And still, every time I go there, I discover new things and little corners I have never been or new vantage points for sights I’ve seen often. Usually, I just book an hotel and a seat on the Eurostar. But this time I came prepared: I was determined to shoot a series of interesting photos.

So besides plans to go see the Elvis expo at the O2 Arena and the Alexander McQueen expo at the V&A museum, a couple of of nice restaurants we wanted to check out, I also had done my research to shoot cityscapes in beautiful London. City Hall, the O2 Arena, Tower Bridge and the Docklands were on my list.

When we planned the trip, we didn’t realize London would be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the VE Day (Victory in Europe at the end of World War II). So I also had the good fortune to get this shot of the Admiralty Arch.
