Today's Architectural Photograph
Another picture from London, since I will be delayed at home this morning waiting for a moving company to come tell me how much it will cost to break all my china. This is my picture of the inside of the new dome at the British Museum:
Spectacular...great shot.
Good luck with the movers and EVERYTHING!!!
wow. yes... spectacular is the word.
and don't forget to ask the movers if they charge extra to show all the neighbors their butt cracks while breaking your china.
(mine did...of course...the one had a really nice butt...so i gladly paid)

Posted by: GrammarQueen at April 29, 2005 09:53 AMWhat do you think of the dome over the British Museum? I think it is really beautiful, especially from the inside.
There is a controversy here in DC about a similar plan to cover the courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery, to make more indoor space, to be used for inauguration balls and the like. I can see why folks are against such a dramatic change, but based on the British Museum, it could look very cool.
Please keep us informed on the move, also. Did you accept the Bond trader's contract?

Posted by: RP at April 30, 2005 07:09 AMGood shot! For some reason it reminds me of a scene from Blade Runner.
