Indian Paintings and Landscapes at the British Museum

Photos from a recent visit to the British Museum to see the Garden and Cosmos exhibition. The exhibition has 56 paintings from India, none of which have been displayed before in Europe. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience the unique art tradition that flourished in the royal courts between the 17th and 19th centuries.

London by my mobile

It's been four years now of living in London, but still very much the tourist around the city. Here are some recent shots taken with my trustee mobile phone.

Piccadilly Circus with the lights on

At Tottenham Court Road just before sunset

At my favourite coffee place - Milk Bar - latte heaven

A very imposing looking St Paul's

Walking towards Regent's Street and my favourite store - can you guess?
