There were Ducks, Swans,Pegions, Pelicans and plenty of other kinds of birds in the parks I passed by in London!and I could catch this rare moument while the birds were having a nap, very cute isn't it!
The lovely Squirel, he was friendly and approched with the hope to have something to eat as a present of his curiosity!and I didn't left him with no prize, I gave him a piece of yummy sandwitch bread, and he liked it so much, and I took this lovely picture of it, in the Hyde Park of London :-D
Don't beleive if somone tell you this:The British museum is the best in London, well certainly not, I liked the Natural History museum more, even if its smaller, it is very special, and I remember first time I saw it before coming to London, was a stage in a game called Danger Girl, where Sidney the hero girl had a mission in this museum, in a 3d soney playstation game it was unforgetable for me, and I saw it just as it was painted and drawed in the game, but sure much beautiful in reality!
Walking through the roads and streets of London, a strange wish of meeting a real typical Lord or Lady was burning me, and it happens as you can see here, the typical Lord with his elegant custom and hat!I love England :-)
In spite of the beauty of the ala Greek style museum, the windows were even bigger than the gate itself, take a look and see how it is!I was also thinking it is another quality of wonders in wonderland!
Again don't be fooled buy this picture, of the emptyness impression, it was also for few rare seconds, after all went as it must goes in big cities like London, well you could ask me: then why the hell did you make this bloody picture mate?!!!LOLI'll answer, it is simply much beautiful like this mate!
English girls are sharing many common points with other European girls, but also having some unique points, as for the common things they are pretty, and modern, and likes party and nightlife, but the different quality is that they know how to be a real English lady when it needs!
You could be easily fooled that this street is calm in London, that's what I wanted to show as a trick, actually I successfully could catch this blink when no cars where passing and few people where also there, but I assure you the second ended and the street was noisy again LOL
The Architect who built the memorial was a woman from USA, English people didn't liked it and found it far to be beautiful, as it is a big ring of uncolored cement out of nowhere and placed in the Park!I guess any memorial is enough good as a function of reminder!
One of the most horrible things and events that happend in England was the black day when lady Diana the beloved woman not only in UK was dead in that so called car accident,well sorry, no one could make me beleive that it was an accident, I guess it was prepared and planed, and many people in England shares me this opinion, in terms of keeping that sad day in the head of English people a memorial was founded in the middle of Hyde Park.
