Twisted Kites

Spent one of my long-ish breaks at work last week by going into town for some fresh air. I’ll post a few pictures over a few forthcoming entries. For today’s post, a selection of pictures from when I was in St. James’ Park. I took all the pictures in this series of entries with my Nokia N73 phone’s camera, hence why the quality might not be as good as it could.

St. James’ Park is probably one of my favourite places in London. A gorgeous place, nice lake, pretty plants, plenty of wildlife, the Palace at one end and the buildings of Whitehall at the other.

1. A view from the bridge across the lake headed towards Buckingham Palace. I really love the bold colours in this picture, especially as it’s a camera phone picture:

2. And in reverse. Taken from the pathway below the Palace area, looking back towards the bridge on the lake (sorry about the stray sunbeam!):

3. Taken on the ‘north’ side, facing Whitehall, the London Eye overlooks. The ducks are sunbathing. What a life, eh:

4. A thirsty squirrel having a drink from the lake (I wouldn’t fancy drinking it!). I managed to call this squirrel right over to me afterwards, and I was almost able to stroke it’s head but it scuttled away:

5. An inquisitive duck wondering what that strange red thing (the phone) was that was hovering over it’s head:

First time in a while that I was able to spend time away from the coach station. Was also glad that my Oyster card still worked as I hadn’t used it in so long (£1.50 for the tube on Oyster, otherwise £4 in cash!).

Writing this entry shown me what a breeze it is to upload, insert and position images with Wordpress. Lovely stuff.
