Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #148

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
Okay, here come just a few more photos from London before we're off to our next stop: Los Angeles! As always, feel free to click on any of the photos, if you'd like a closer view:


This one is really more appropriate for my funny signs blog, but I can't resist posting it here as well:
Those signs were everywhere, all around Buckingham Palace. At first we were shocked that they would make such a ridiculous mistake, and then it occurred to us that maybe it's a British phrase? Maybe like "take care of the grass?" I'm happy to hear any encouraging information on the subject :)
Now, where were we? Ah yes, these guys! 

While meanwhile, off to the far right, we found this guy, who seemed like he might be a more efficient guard:
Then off we were, through another park, headed back to Heathrow. All in all, a fantastic layover!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #146

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
Where were we? Ah yes, in England! Here we are, still walking to the Tube station:

Isn't that so pretty?

We took the Tube to Big Ben, and exited the station. "How will we know how to find Big Ben?" we wondered, and suddenly we heard "bong, bong, bong..." We looked straight up, and there it was! It actually took a bit of walking to get far enough away from it to get a photo:
Nice, right?

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #145

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
Thank God, we're still relatively war-free over here in Israel! I could totally get used to this :)

We were in the US for a couple of weeks early this past summer, with a half-day stopover in London on the way. Here are a few British windows and doors - as always, feel free to click on the photos, if you'd like a closer view:
From our hotel:
Those actually cracked me up a bit - it's amazing to me how different the facades are from the lovely buildings that reside behind them! 

In our hotel:




And walking to the Tube station:



That certainly was unlike Jerusalem :) Stay tuned next week for our further adventures!
