Andrew's Pictures and Thoughts 2 (pictures posted twice. I love Blogspot)















So, they admit that this changing of the guard is enough of a joke that they can have these guys with red tassles coming out of the tops of their helmets, but then they also post a guy with an assault rifle. I'd like to blame my puzzlement on cultural misunderstanding on my part, but I can easily imagine this kind of thing happening in Canada.




















The clock tower in Exeter.



















The clock tower in London. I know I've said this before, but I don't think Big Ben is all that big. And neither clock towers lives up to what I've come to expect based on Castlevania. I'm disappointed.















A black swan confirms my idea that Europe is a haven for all things macabre.















A neat building.

Don't dis Big Ben. If you didn't know, it was erected to celebrate my greatness. Of course that was many years ago and taller structures now abound. Current efforts are under way to erect "Bigger Ben" on the moon.
