Another snapshot from my fall visit across the Atlantic Ocean … here’s one of the lions on Trafalgar Square, London, framed with Big Ben in the background.

Market outside City Hall in Leipzig, Germany

Just a friendly gathering place at the market outside Leipzig’s city hall, when I passed through in September.

Modernity, London skyline

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 modern university building in Leipzig, Germany, mimics what stood there previously. Snapped this photo back in September.

Deutsche Bahn sleeping car

This is a view of the sleeping car hallway as we rolled down the track from Köln to Berlin … as seen with my smartphone camera through the peephole in the door. Shot on my travels through Europe this past September.

Ill-fated expedition

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.
