Sunny London Morning


On our final weekend in UK, we had a day and a half to spend in London. Early morning, after breakfast, we strolled the streets of London with a few sites in mind. On our way to those attractions, we walked past the Justice Court. This lady perched on the building was so hauntingly real that i had to take a photo.


The building was nicely designed and was quite tall i had to capture a picture from bottom all the way to the top this way...on the top of the roof is a lady holding a sword in one hand and a weighing balance ( daching ), in another.



Of course, the first of attractions on my list for that day was the St Paul's Cathedral, an exquisite church near River Thames. The sky that day was stunningly blue, and made a perfect backdrop for the buildings.



The roof of St Paul's Cathedral is just bursting with details waiting to be admired by us. It wasn't opened when i visited, or i would've loved to see the Whispering Corner in it.



This is the side view of the building. If only i had another day or two in London, I would've waited for it to open. Alas, i was pressed for time and had to move on.



Just a short walk away is the Millennium Bridge, a new pedestrian bridge that brings people across River Thames to the opposite.



Even from the opposite side i was able to see St Paul's Cathedral from afar. It's that grand building right on the center with a round dome.
