Lambeth and the South Bank

These pictures pretty much sum it up, doing this walk at night was one of the best decisions I made that week. I could have stayed there snapping photos for hours, the skyline lit up like this is nothing short of gorgeous. The walk was full of beautiful things, St. Mary's churchyard being another one of them. I appreciate so much the work that goes into creating and maintaining grounds like these. It takes a special kind of person to be a gardener. I pictured my Mom coming in the back door, dirt stained on her jeans, mud caked under her fingernails, her face and neck looking more leather like than the day before, and in her hand a prize winning bucket of vegetables; she would love this place.

It is refreshing to do these walks, and to actually know some of the specific people and events that are being spoken of. It ties in so well with our history class, and I love being able to see a structure that has such significant historical meaning. I often times wonder just how many people have paused and gazed at what I am looking at. This ties us all together and makes the world seem a little smaller and closer. I have not yet taken my obligatory London Eye walk, but now I know when I want to do it. I want to do it just before sunset, when I can still see the city, but when a little bit of dark mystery is setting in. All in all, an extremely enjoyable, successful walk.
