Taken from the top of a double-decker bus tour. Just a building.

All Things for All People, Everywhere
The weather was surprisingly mild (though cold) for us in London, allowing this long-exposure of Harrod's department store against the blue of twilight.
I Just Don't Get European Fashion Sometimes
Part of the window display for a famous London department store, each mannequin has an outfit made of a different type of food. This dessert dress was obviously the best (can you say 'tartlet high heels')
Lanterns
We headed into London's Chinatown (in Soho, I think) for dinner and wound up eating at a very nice Italian restaurant. The lanterns in the restaurant weren't as much fun as these.

Out of a Cold Northern Dream
Hard to believe that's the end of the trip, but we covered a lot of ground in two weeks!
This shot used a long exposure (and my fingers got very cold taking it) and a little photoshop fun after-the-fact. We spent almost all our time in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile - including a bunch of it after dark, so this is oddly representative.

Edinburgh Steeple
I liked the architecture in the old city of Edinburgh. I manipulated the contrast of this shot in post-production to get an HDR-like effect.
Loch Tummel
It was too bad we only had time for a bus tour around some of the Lochs. The highlands really are beautiful country.
Falls of Braan
The falls and fall color were especially dramatic here in the Hermitage Forrest in Scotland.
Stretching into the Woods
This unlikely park setting lies along the banks of a river in Dunkeld, Scotland, just down from the cathedral. On a warm day. the benches would provide a great spot to watch the river go by. Unfortunately for me, it was overcast and cold the day I was there.
Overgrown
Across the North of England stretch the ruins of Hadrian's Wall, a Roman military defense against the Ancient Scots.
Splash of Orange
Caught sight of this little guy in a tree. I really like the shallow depth of field that the D40 can capture.
