Snow

Today is the second time it snows in Birmingham. It snowed heavier at the first time and scenes were more beautiful but I did not take any photos simply because I did not bring my camera at that time. Anyway it is still very beautiful!

Another test for finding how correct it matches your characters. This is my color:

Brown

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

Quite correct, check it out at Tickle

My days are numbered...

1 day is just like a blink of an eye...
1 week is just like a long sleep...
1 month is just like a short holiday...
1 year will soon pass before we realize that...
2 years might not be enough for you to finish a deed, leave it undone...

My days are numbered...

Destination: London

I've juz got back from London. Staying there 2 days and discovered almost everything. I was amazed to find that London is even more beautiful than I had thought, despite all the crowded hordes of people, traffic jams, etc. What can I say? Well, a picture paints thousand words. Let them talk ^^

Buckingham Palace - Popularly known as "Buck House", has served as the monarch`s permanent London residence only since the accession of Victoria.







Westminster Abbey is famous throughout the world as one of the greatest churches in Christendom





St Paul's Cathedral - The weddings of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill and many other occasions have graced this spiritual centre. Unfortunately, when I arrived there, it's under renovation that makes its front site ugly!



This is the Cathedral viewed from Millenium Bridge

View from Millenium Bridge over River Thames


Golden Jubilee Bridge



London Eye - view from Golden Jubilee Bridge






Monument - Sir Christopher Wren`s spectacular column symbolising the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666





When darkness falled, some was nice , some was not :(

Tower Bridge - one of the most famous landmarks in London and just over a hundred years old, the Tower Bridge with its twin drawbridges, or bascules, each weighing about 1,000 tons have been raised more then half a million times since it was built



I spoiled the photo ^^


HMS Belfast - an 11,500-ton cruiser that opened the bombardment of the Normandy coast on D-Day

Can u see it? :(


Regent Street - Orchard Road of London?


Piccadilly Circus


Trafalgar Square

Can't hardly see anything :(


The Houses of Parliament are the place where laws governing British life are debated and enacted. Begun in 1840 after a fire destroyed the previous building, the Gothic style was designed by Sir Charles Barry with aid from A.W. Pugin. It contains the bell Big Ben that is struck each quarter hour. A light in the clock tower tells when the House of Commons is in session. Its grandeur stunned me man!





Big Ben



I took the bus head to South-East of London to Greenwich, where prime meridian line lies ^^. And here it is, I was standing on that ^^





:D




Greenwich Park - can see London from here


Cutty Sark - the world`s last surviving tea clipper




Again, more photos can be found in My photos . Have funs and merry Xmas!

Destination: Bath & Stonehenge

Today I took a trip to Bath & Stonehenge, juz to escape from Birmingham and enjoy the air at another city ^^ . Bath & Stonehenge are located at South-West of England, at the closest part to Wales. Bath, London and Birmingham form a balanced-triangle with London as one vertex as u can see in the map below:



About 30' away by coach to the South-East of Bath is Stonehenge - the infamous megalithic ruin that now is a heritage of England. For those who don't know what Stonehenge is, u better off dead! ( j/k ^^ ) . Here are some info about Stonehenge:

Stonehenge is not a single structure but consists of a series of earth, timber, and stone structures that were revised and re-modelled over a period of more than 1400 years including 3 phases. At phase III ( that u will be able to see in my photos), it was first built with Sarsen Circle and Trilithon Horseshoe:




Subsequently, a Bluestone Oval added within Trilithon Horseshoe and a Bluestone Circle added outside the Trilithon Horseshoe but inside the Sarsen Circle.


Then, an arc of stone was removed from the Bluestone Oval to form a Bluestone Horseshoe. Finally, two circles, one inside the other, known as the Y and Z Holes were dug for the placement of stones but were never filled.


Stonehenge is believed to be built by either Romans or Druids ( which is still a debate until now ) . Enough of background knowledge , here are some photos that I took:




Been there, done that ^^


After Stonehenge, I departed to Bath - a city that reflects Roman architecture deeply. Bath is a spectacularly beautiful city with a history dating back to the Roman times. Standing on the River Avon, Bath is a recognised worldwide as a World Heritage Site. In ancient times, the warm waters of the Bath springs were thought to be sacred, and when the Romans built a famous temple on the famous spring, the famous city of Bath was born.

City of Bath








Bath Abbey—Standing in the heart of Bath, the Bath Abbey has been built and ruined three times in the last twelve hundred years. The present building was finished in 1499, this unique building is the last of the great medieval English churches

At night ( very impressive! )




Bath is a small city therefore places of interests are within walking distance. After visiting Bath Abbey church, I walked to Royal Crescent which is one of the most distinctive parts of Bath, and almost unique in the UK, Royal Crescent is a semi circular building built by the famous John Wood the Younger in 1774. It consists of 30 magnificent houses, supported by 118 grand columns. Unfortunately, fog became so dense at that time that I couldn't hardly see the overall structure of Royal Crescent:



( been there, done that! )


Nearby Royal Crescent is The Circus - built in the eighteenth century by the famous architect John Wood the Elder and his son John Wood the Younger, the Circus is a very distinctive and beautiful garden surrounded by a row of circular buildings. Its three tiers of columns was described as 'the Colosseum turned outside in'. The acorns decorating the parapets reflect the Celtic legend of King Bladud, the founder of Bath. I could only took a photo of a part of it. The circle itself is so huge!



After patrolling around downtown of Bath, feeling tired and numb ( weather is getting cold in England, it's becoming like a place where the sun never shine through the dense fog that dub England the name: Kingdom of fog ( or smth like that ) ) , I got back to the coach station back to Birmingham. Had a fun and nice day!
