West End Theatre Walk

This was such a fun walk, through my favorite part of London! I chose Sepia tone for my theme, which I really ended up hating. For some of them it works but usually I feel like it detracts from the usually glitzy feeling of the West End.

Picadilly Circus

Yeah...they got their Characitures done. Silly tourists.

Audrey & Brad

Bond girl in the making.

Bond history in the making.

I just liked this shot...got some weird looks taking it, but I think it's fun.

St. Martin's

National Gallery

As usual, the reading in the walks book served to answer a few of my very important questions, for example what OXO means and why it's the only lit up writing on all the buildings on the South of the Thames. Apparently the company got around the city laws by building the OXO in red right on the side of the building! Anyway...the Theatre District held special interest today since they were setting up for the premiere of Body of Lies, starring Russel Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. What I think is so interesting is to see the combination of Theatre and Film. The city is so involved with both but both have such different feels to them. I love the way London appreciates old and new art--the National Gallery is right next to St. Martin's, which is next to the Odeon, which is in the middle of so many West End Playhouses. It's amazing to be in the middle of so much culture, both from hundreds of years ago and today.
