Every year, the most beautiful and interesting buildings in London open their doors to anyone and everyone who wish to get a glimpse of what’s inside. This free event is called Open House London. As an appreciator of great architecture, I decided to venture out into the city with my umbrella, Open House iPhone app guide, and trusty camera to check out the buildings in the financial district. I visited the Lloyd’s building. It is sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building because, like the Pompidou Center in Paris, its services such as staircases, elevators, electrical power conduits and water pipes are on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. I was hoping to visit other buildings in the area, but unfortunately I got lost in the rain, gave up, and made my way home. The trip wasn’t a complete disappointment as I came away with some great photos.
Ely Cathedral
Last October, my sister visited from Boston. As part of her trip, we drove up to Ely and stayed in a B&B. We spent a day in Ely and toured the cathedral. Here's some pics from the day.

Last April, I went on a road trip from Amsterdam to Copenhagen. I'm slowly getting through all my photos from the trip. Here's a few of my favorites so far. More to come.
Room with a View
Florence is one of the most beautiful European cities. I love it for its art, its history, its architecture, and of course, its ice cream! I visited there in 2010, and I am just now going through hundreds of images I shot there. Here's some of my favorites. (Guess I should have included some ice cream shots. Maybe in a future post?)
Rad Cam
A couple of weeks ago, I spent the day in Oxford. Most of these photos were taken near/of the Radcliffe Camera building, built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library.
