london: misc architecture

i've posted a bunch of photos of specific sites, but rather than just post single photos of some of these places i'll group a bunch together.

big ben
it's hard to show a photograph of this thing. still, it's impressive in person - moreso than i expected.

parliament
same note as above.

tower bridge
often called 'london bridge' (which is a far less interesting bridge down the thames). got a classic tourist shot of the bridge opening from over by city hall, but i prefer this one instead.

trafalgar square
here's two photos taken over different days. one day we were caught in an insane downpour of rain and we rushed with the rest of the square to the nearest tube station entrance. i think it is the room filled with drowned rats feeling that gets londoners down.

trafalgar square 2

channel four headquarters
another richard rogers partnership project. the building has a bit of that inside-out design, with the elevators on the exterior. quickly caught our eye when we got near it.
