Photos by Night in London, England

Nightlife in London is hopping, but very expensive. Wade and I opted for a bottle of wine at a grocery store, instead of buying pints of beer for $10 at local bars. We sat near the Tower of London, and walked across the replica of the London Bridge, singing all the way.

The subway(or underground) in London is called the Tube.

Photos of London, England by Day

Before venturing to India in 2006, Wade and I took a stopover in London, England. It felt very right to visit the UK before visiting its colony of India. Basically we just walked around all over London, saw a few sites, somehow walked right passed Big Ben without seeing it, and dug into the old romance of the Thames River and the old alleyways of London.

Wade, looking greasy and gross on the tube in London. I like the London underground! Mind the Gap!

Magic Art Garden, South Street, Philadelphia

These are photos of the art garden on South Street called Philadelphia's Magic Garden. Many artists and craftsmen have come together to create this unique, awesome mosaic piece. The mosaic tile artwork can be found all over the street, leaking out of its cage. Broken bottles, ceramic tiles, found objects, and everything imaginable is glued to this building. It was started by Isaiah and Julia Zagar, and they have fought long and hard to keep the building for a community, public art space. Check it out if you are ever on South Street!

Mirrors, Bike tires, recycled art.

Even the entire interior of the house is tiled.
