London and Paris (Part III)

Some of the more interesting photos I took during the trip. Had quite a hard time choosing from the 1000++ photos from the trip. London and Paris are cities with a rich art history and I really miss the museums and the art culture there.



Found this really interesting, bet those people on the benches didn't realise they're being 'framed' (pun intended)

A weird phenomenal when the birds all perched on the bald trees, we had to watch out for anything falling from above...

Hot pink tables and chairs outside Tate Modern

At the train station, thought the 'ceiling' was interesting, you'll feel rather dizzy if you stare at it for too long

bright red truck in front of the monotonous browns of the building behind
...consumerism...

From the Eiffel Tower (feel like falling)

The Eiffel Tower from the bottom up

How the sky bade us farewell...

London and Paris (Food)

The food culture is very different from Singapore's, even their Chinese cuisine tasted different. Particularly enjoyed the escargot and the deserts.
My first try on food photography (could have played around more with the perspectives though)...

 

By the way, this is my 50th post :DD

London and Paris (Buildings)

When we first landed in London and later Paris, the first thing that awed me was the architecture of the buildings that lined the roads. They seem so vintage and grand, with the elaborate decorative sculptures and castle-like towers. brought out the rich history and culture of London and Paris. A nice change from Singapore's HDB flats :)










The ceiling is really cool...reminds me of Dede Eri Supria's Labyrinth (sigh...the side effects of EOYs)




Of course, not forgetting the Eiffel Tower


The design from under the Eiffel Tower


...chanced upon this on the bus...wonder who lives there...
talk about the wide variety of architecture


Another interesting architecture - pyramid


like how the green color of the sculpture contrasts with the monotonous color of the building - acts as an 'eye candy'
