b) Today's Offering (Nov 26, 2024):
newly arrived visitor at Russell Square





skating rink at Somerset House


downstream view from the Waterloo Bridge
( St Paul's Cathedral on left bank)



the London "Eye"



a long escator in the " Tube"


stunning holiday streetlighting
(Xmas still 5 weeks hence)


now and again, your statues need a good cleaning!



global culture: the M and M store


ornate old hotel near Russell Square,
across the street from ours


London icons: taxi and pub


Editors' Note: An important photo, moments after the above scene was captured, is NOT available (cell-phone not extracted from pocket): As we were walking down Great Ormond Street, at the construction zone for the hospital expansion, a fox ran by. We hope to  arrange a followup photo-shoot opportunity on a subsequent visit to the UK.
