Last day in London --
Pretty much everyone knows who built it & what went on at this interesting place.
So I'll skip all the history stuff.
If you take a close look (#8) you will see that even the Crows march in-step at the Tower.
1-9 = Tower.
Really felt that one good English Lion (#9) deserved yet another --
#10 was taken at Hampton Court the day prior.

Nice photos. They are sharp and the color is good.

We just got back from London and saw the tower while we were there. I am glad you took the photos as I did not take my camera that day.

Nah, they'll let you back in so they can pick your bones!

Wonderful set of awesome photos, Ken. Great color and sharp detail over large dof. Enjoyed looking at the construction detail in double download.

That's why they pen-up a bunch of these critters each night -- For all I know -- To keep them as "stay at homes" -- They may even clip their feathers --

OK, I've wanted to tell this story for years. Sometime in the 1990s I was visiting London. I had with me my vintage 1969 Asahi Spotmatic. I noticed a Beefeater standing guard outside the building containing the Crown Jewels. One of his shoes was untied. A definite once-in-a-lifetime shot! Except that the camera would not fire! I banged the camera against my opposite palm. I shook the camera. I tried again. And again. It never fired again. When I got back to the States I bought a new SLR. Canon. I used that SLR for several years, then went digital with a Rebel XTi, and now a 70D. But I'll never get a photo like the one I missed.
