Canadian maple leaf flag, London, England

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.

Pelican hangout

This pelican is one of the residents of St. James Park in London, just a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace. The image was captured about a year ago.

Take a spin

Looking north from the Westminster Bridge in London, with the London Eye on the right. This was taken moments after riding the Eye last October. If the weather’s right, this attraction offer a great view.

Helpful hint!

These large, visible letters painted curbside all over London are lifesavers. More than once, I found myself needing help on where to look before crossing the street!

Long way up

It takes a few minutes and costs a few pounds to get to the top of the Monument in London — but the view is lovely.
