Seats of Power: Whitehall and the mall

The theme I chose for my photos for this walk was accenting red. Red is such a characteristically British color and I really enjoyed this theme.

I love the red accents in much of the architecture

Intelligent looking pub :)

I loved these Telephone booths with the crown on them

Big Ben + British Umbrellas. What more could you ask for?

London is the official home of the Double Decker

What would we do without the tube?

It was so interesting to see the 'Washington DC' of London. All the monuments were so interesting and made me realize how little I know about Britain's history. One of my favorites was the monument to the Women of WWII and I really am interested to find out more of the history behind it. I can't help but think that our practice of making monuments is only a branch off of theirs. Once again what's so amazing about this walk was the amount of history contained in each one of these buildings. This (embarrassingly enough) was my first time seeing Buckingham Palace straight on from the front. With the rows of fall leaves leading up to it, the effect was spectacular. I really enjoyed this part of town.
