we started the 3rd day with a Mac D breakfast just beside our hotel on Bond Street, reasonably priced at 5 pounds for everything you see in the photo.

after filling our stomachs, we headed out. We decided to slow our pace today so as not to tire ourselves for the rest of the trip.

lonely jas... sitting by the millenium bridge in the cold night wondering when i'll be done....

Focal Length: 18.0mm, Exposure Time: 15.000, Aperture: f/7.1, ISO Equiv.: 200, Exposure Bias: 1.00

i especially like this photo because the millenium bridge leads your eye to st paul's cathedral on the left. the long exposure allowed the light from the bridge to be reflected on the river thames. the only problem is maybe too much sky in the picture, some moving clouds would have been nice.
