To be honest: my favourite photos are those from the actual A2K meeting Laughing

I've been quite often to London, especially during the last couple of years (and centuries back :wink: ).

Some excellent photos are presented by Francis, telling his story of the A2K London gathering May 2005.

So, here are a few of my views from the last weekend in

[Since the second meeting starts today here, I may not be online (often) during the next couple of days until Wednesday next week!]

I stayed with the Steve's, and one of their friends kindly let us stay a flat in Canary Wharf/Isle of Dogs.

A really very safe place - or why did those boats pass frequently the Thamse (viewed from the flat's windows)?

The Thames seems to be a clean(er) river these days, as proved by some (15 all together, we counted) neighbours

Of course, from that place, London isn't really that far away

This might be due to these "Traffic Lights" Laughing

Traffic Light Sculpture, Canary Wharf
Situated in the middle of a roundabout, this sculpture confuses unsuspecting motorists every day. Standing over eight metres tall it has 75 fully working traffic signal heads. It was created by Pierre Vivant and is in the shape of two plane trees. The light sequence mainly displays just red and amber - supposedly to mimic the 24 hour nature of the city behind.
