Old and the New

Here we see the ruins of an old church overpowered somewhat by the towering glass headquarters of some 21st century bank or corporation. As time passes, the city changes....hence why I chose this photo for City Daily Photo's theme day, "Time."

No Boys Allowed

A recreation of a 1920s underground "ladies only" car at the London Transport Museum. Note the awful tube map on the wall to the left. Seriously -- the current London tube map is an absolute work of genius. Makes a potentially horrifying and confusing system completely fathomable and even easy. (That said, I still prefer the bus.)

Oxford

A side trip to Oxford and the gloomy fogginess of its old colleges in the dying light of autumn. Poetic or depressing? I tend to favor the former, but I'm an incurable romantic.

Geffrye Museum

A spectrum of fall colors transforms the Geffrye Museum in the East End.

Graffiti Murals Merapi

Graffiti mural was created after a volcano erupted Merapi. Mount Merapi erupted on 5 November 2010. Merapi eruption was even more devastating than the eruption of Merapi in 1872.
Residents Hail Magelang regency, Central Java, Merapi eruption incised memories of the events of 2010 in a frame of graffiti art murals. The work of art in painting murals on a wall owned by residents in Yogyakarta, Magelang highway, dated 26 November 2010.

There are three works, each mural panel drawing all the events of the Merapi eruption began drawing lijar molten lava, pyroclastic fury (wedhus trash) and residents flee.
Vertical eruption events become special memories for residents and nearby Magelang because almost for about 10 days the areas exposed to rain ash is very thick and dense.
Pyroclastic fury / wedhus gembel also depicted with a distance range up to a radius of 15 km from the summit.
Massive displacement events for the citizens of Magelang, Sleman and Klaten become special memories for not only humans but animals are also displaced. [Via]

Thanksgiving, English-style

As a transplanted American in London, I obviously have to post a picture of the Thanksgiving dinner I ate last night with 15 other American students.

The ovens in our student housing aren't really big enough to do a proper roast turkey, so instead we ordered turkey and cranberry and sage and stuffing pies from Borough Market. And I found canned cranberry sauce at the local supermarket (where I bumped into several other Americans looking for the same thing). I found this hybrid of a traditional American dinner oddly comforting. And, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I was also able to speak to my entire family back home via webcam.

And now I'll be eating leftover Minnesota wild rice for the next two months. Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Thanks for that

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Today, I am thankful that I come from a family and a financial background that has allowed me to get the kind of high-class education that I have enjoyed in the United States and now in the United Kingdom. Tertiary education used to be free for all UK citizens just a few years ago and now the new coalition government is threatening to lift the cap on tuition so that fees could rise, conceivably to an unlimited amount (£9000 a year is the current talk).

Protests have rocked the capital (and the country) as a result of these developments. Yesterday students occupied many universities, including my own, University College London. This is a shot of some of those students gathering prior to sitting in at the UCL Finances office.

Déjà vu

You might recall this image a few weeks back of the East End as seen from a flat in North London. This is that same view on a foggy day not long ago. Needless to say, I drank a lot of tea and listened to some excellent moody music on that day.

After the rain

A power station glowing in the sun after a burst of afternoon rain. This is taken looking southwest from the Hyde Park area. Anyone know where that power station is? It might be the Battersea Power Station, and it's in about the right place, though it looks like it's missing the back two smokestacks.
