England

If I want to describe England in one word I would say variant, as there are variant people and variant things from around the world. I have visited London, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lake District and Chelsea in England. I spent most of my time in London, which overall is about a week, in museums, as they are huge with a variety of things to learn. Berwick-upon-Tweed is the northernmost town in England. The lake district is full of small lakes and many tourist attractions.

These photos are taken from different places in London while taking a look around the city. I’m not sure about the name of the statues I took their photos but as I searched the golden statue is Albert Memorial.

A few of London attractions including Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Palace of Westminster and St. Paul’s Cathedral from river point of view.

These are only 3 photos from numerous things I liked in London museums. The tree trunk is a tree formed into a stone. The strange sculpture is a Persian word “Heech” meaning nothing, and reflects a Sufism belief saying God has created the world out of nothing and thus nothingness exists in all the creatures and elements of the world. The middle photo is the Cyrus Cylinder by Persia’s King Cyrus the Great. This Cylinder is the first charter of the right of nations in the world.

A little Chinese town in the heart of London with their newspaper called UK-Chinese Times.

The Lake District is a national park including different lakes and mountains. Windermere is the largest lake where I was staying and took photos in the evening and at night. I’m not uploading photos I took on boats or buses as they are just green mountains and water, the type of places you should see for yourself. In the green field photo, hope you have noticed grazing sheeps, as they emphasize the vastness and beauty of the field. The close-up photo of the houses is taken from the back door and I’m not sure why they have built rooms in different heights.

These photos are taken during my boat excursion in Brockhole and Ambleside. These areas are also parts of the Lake District. I really liked the Hydrangea with such a variety of colours on a big bush. In the photo with ball-like trees (!), I like the fact that flower bushes, green land, pedestrian path, trees, lake, mountain, and the cloudy sky are all in one frame.

I loved the parallel lines in the very green photo, from the grass line to the horizon line separating the sea from the sky. The bridges were beautiful and I loved this panorama view with those birds flying almost parallel to the bridge.

I really liked this green land with its tiny greenhouses.

The giant human-like statue is called Angle of the North. I asked someone why people have hung these dolls on the bush and he replied because they want their children who are not alive anymore to be protected by the angle. Not sure whom I asked but his explanation makes sense and is also somehow acknowledges by this hyperlinked website. This website provides a lot of information regarding the statue if you were interested.
