Lots of cities you visit. I haven't been to Amsterdam in a number of years, I need to visit again. The funny thing is I reconize all of those sites, but again Amsterdam isn't all that big.

Of course got to give the props for Los Angeles, Boston, and London.

BTW how did you like London, did it remind you a bit of New York? Personally I think rush hour on the Tube is crazier than NY's.

London reminds me of a bigger Boston with NYC-sized crowds, and yes the Tube was nuts. I could let alone barely fit in the damn cars.






















The London morning face.

Nobody nose to this day what this is. Wocka wocka wocka.














I don't think London is hard enough to navigate, they should add more winding streets.













Damn thing pops up everywhere, no pun intended.








































































Yep, no more pictures of residential architecture for me.




















More ad irony.

Yeah I never thought about London being like a larger version of Boston instead of NYC. I see you also went through the Brixton neighborhood, and looks like a few other carribean hoods. I just know you didn't leave London without eating a Jamaican Beef patty.

The reason I said Boston is that it has such a chaotic street layout and like Boston, seems like a combination of a lot of small villages all forming one city. NYC seems like it can manage its crowds with huge thoroughfares, a grid and wide sidewalks, but London has the same number of people on the street, but seems more crowded with narrow avenues and sidewalks, and clogged traffic on two lane streets that go right through the heart of the financial district. You never really get to see how big it is also, whereas in NYC, you have constant reminders. In this aspect, Paris reminded me mroe of NYC.

wow - fantastic thread

you make LA look real gritty

great job on London - not just the centre but some of my favourite districts - south, west and east (no Camden or Hampsted or Notting Hill though? I guess you can't do everything)

awesome!!

Awesome thread, great compilation. I can't imagine taking that many photos on one trip to London, you must have spent a lot of time snapping all of those.
