London: Pictures at an Exhibition

To London, to see Pictures at an Exhibition. But we went up early, and it was a fine cold sunny day when London's monuments show at their best. GPS track, in case you want help identifying things. See here for all pix.

To Bomber Command. This one is new; 2012.

One of the arches.

Albert. The picture doesn't quite capture his gleam. The scene now shifts to the V+A.

I was struck by the outrageous costumes of the soldiers. And the lion "vomiting" his arm is nice. Not shown here, but on the next panel, we see Joseph, the Holy Virgin, and Our Saviour quietly slopeing off in the background leaving the poor infants to their fate.

Next to the Soanearium, a weird and wonderful place, worth a look I think but perhaps not an over-long one.

South, with views back to Nelson's column in the West.

 

And then finally the Queen Elizabeth Hall, to hear Benjamin Grovesnor, who was jolly good. M points out: we also heard him in March, at West Road. I thought his name was familiar.
