Picture Post!

In lieu of any real content, I bring you some of my pictures from London that I have just gotten around to downloading.



That's a gigantoriffic ram head from the British Museum. Which, by the way, does not believe in air conditioning during humid London summers. Bleh.



That's a ram from... umm... somewhere in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Which I LOVE. Not only does it have an entire fashion section and dresses everywhere, there is a textile section. With drawers that you can pull out and look at lace from the 16th century or Peruvian embroidery from the 12th century.



That's another sheep from the V&A at the entrance to the vast British exhibit. It's holding up a flag. There's three other animals holding up standards - a fish, a dragon and... um... something else. I have a feeling that it's supposed to be symbolic of England's contributions to society. I just went 'ooh! sheep!'
