When visiting London, Canada House is truly hard to miss, what with its bevy of Canadian flags on the building’s exterior and its prime location on Trafalgar Square. Snapped this image on my last visit last September … and sharing the photo today on the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary. Happy Canada Day.

I’ve yet to wander into the newest, shiniest parts of central London — an unfamiliar skyline populated with skyscrapers and cranes. Perhaps on my next visit …
This view was snapped from the observation deck of the Tate Modern in September 2016.

This engraving in London, on Waterloo Place not far from Trafalgar Square, is part of a memorial to Sir John Franklin, leader of an ill-fated 1840s expedition in search of the Northwest Passage through Arctic Canadian waters.
I snapped this image in September 2016, just days after it was reported the wreck a second ship from his small fleet, HMS Terror, appears to have been found intact and in perfect condition at the bottom of the appropriately named Terror Bay, Nunavut.

Don’t be alarmed! Things look worse than they are, clearly. This very neat implementation of public art was spotted in London this past fall.
