London Update Number 2

So London is still fantastic. Living on my own has not proved to be that difficult once I got over the initial obstacles which were laundry and cooking. I am really enjoying my classes which involve lots of field trips to super interesting places (olympic site for 2012 for instance). We have actually begun really working.
Ok, so, pictures: I've taken lots. But i'll only post the ones I really like.
Obviously, Big Ben (which is really St. Stephens tower, as Big Ben is the bell). This is at night, with the camera perched on a ledge, leveled by my strap. This is about f/11 or so, which is what gives the lights the starburst.
This is Jess. Jess is cool. I mostly included this picture because I love the actual picture. This is one of my first backlit pictures that I am truly happy with. It's also pretty cool because we are on the London Eye in this picture.
This is a tower in Brixton. Brixton is a developing area in London with a very large Afro-Caribbean population. I got curried goat at a small local restaurant there with a Guava Juice as a drink. It was delicious.
Obviously, Stonehenge. I did a little bit of editing to get the people out, but not too much. I love the colors and light in this picture.
Still stonehenge, and I really like the colors in this one.
This is a street performer in Bath. We went to the Roman Baths, which were pretty interesting. I love this picture because of the very strong contrast and silhouette that the man provides.

Thats it for now. I'm a little behind on pictures, and have more to post, but thats for another update.
