My second trip to London in as many weeks (see part 1) was full of changing trees in Kensington Gardens and I also saw....
Henry Moore's Arch framing Kensington Palace...
The new Serpentine Sackler Gallery....
with its inaugural show featuring an elephant holding up the gallery...
Marisa Merz's arte povera exhibition at the Serpentine and Shackleton outside the National Geographic Society...
Colourful Bulbs and beautiful red stonework at the V&A...
Xu Bing's beautiful other worldly utopia 'Travelling to the Wonderland' installation....
Some unbelievable animal photos at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition at the beautiful Natural History Museum...
and Mary Anning's prehistoric finds ( I read Tracy Cheavlier's 'Remarkable Creatures' over the summer which is all about Mary Anning finding fossils and the first plesiosaurus- I didn't realise how huge they were, amazing!)....
and how cool are these ammonite fossils in the plesiosaurus...
Shipyards and Roads from the air (we took the cable car over to the O2 Arena)...
Docks and the O2...
Red Boats from above...
The O2 with Canary Wharf behind and Antony Gormley Sculpture & Thames Taxis in front...
The great Mosaic Building that is Ravensbourne College...
The O2 and blue bubbles, can you guess what we were there to see?...
The World Tour Finals Tennis of course!...
We got to see the Bryan Brothers (and they chest-bumped!) and Novak Djokovic (the eventual winner) and Juan Martin del Potro. Yay! Roll on Wimbledon!
Thanks London, I'll be back in the Spring, there's already so many exhibitions I want to see like David Hockney: Printmaker at Dulwich Picture Gallery and Matisse: Cut Outs at Tate Modern.
