Holiday to London

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I would pick some of my favorite individual photos from each of the slideshows I posted and present them here. Next up are some photos from the trip my dad, wife and I took to London. There were several pictures I enjoyed, but these five are probably my favorites.

Here's Big Ben at night. I like the effect the flash had on the branches. Gives it a different kind of look.

These clovers atop a gate at Buckingham palace were pretty cool to see. There's not much that fills the frame here, just the four clovers all in a row. Something strikes me about the photo.

This is a photo of my father sitting in a Tube car in London's Undergound. I like the shape of the photo. It seems circular, even though the photo itself is rectangular.

I like this photo because of the foreground/background battle. Clearly, the feet are in focus, but the out-of-focus background is commanding your attention, too, because of the shimmering gold gates. I also like the mystery of the feet. I look at it and wonder what the rest of the sculpture looks like.

Nothing too groundbreaking photo. I just like the way the light bounces off the snowman.
