Sorry about that melodramatic outburst the other day. I was upset about the London situation, so that was my somewhat trite response to a crazy event. I've calmed down now, and I want to quote an elderly London resident who said it best.

"We've been bombed by a better class of bastard than this."

Amen.

So, in a more sane tribute, I'd like to share a couple of snaps taken from my excursion to the Tate Modern with Jonathan, aka Inertia.

Bridge over the River Thames:


View of St. Paul's Cathedral from the Tate Modern footbridge:


Strangely enough, these were almost all of the photographs I took during that trip. Normally, I'm a bit shutter-happy. But it just didn't click on this particular adventure.

Get it? Click?

I'm sorry, puns and Jennifer should not be allowed.

By the way, an internet acquaintance from a photography forum sent me this fabulous action that SHARPENS and SATURATES at the same time. I'm super impressed; it's done with high pass filters. I'm in love. Now, I just need to turn out beautiful landscapes like his. Don't neglect to visit this link. I've never seen such beautiful photos of Boston.

Tomorrow is the first day of Vacation Bible School. I'm in the preschooler section. I hope I can cope with them... 3 & 4 year olds have a lot in common with college freshmen. I just need to remember that in order to stave off intimidation.
