Some flat lake near Vievis.

I lost all the times.

Damn that.

Same week different lake.

Happy sis.

Mini-guy Ku and his injured leg just in front of the hospital.

(I saw the x-rays and decided he got a bone split – this was the time I was happy to be wrong)

Kultflux.

And a wine.

Bar in Vilnius’ airport.

Leaving to London.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_015

Plain was late as usual.

But this time it was weird since the pilot decided to explain how some things on the plain do not function and how they will be fixed according to Boing’s manual.

Good to have a manual.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_016

Arrived.

The hospitable hosts – Giedrė and Aidan giving us lots of London-hints.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_017

London A to Z – the book  I carried all the time in my pocket (needed a huge one).

Going out.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_020

Tube escalator – they travel on the left side everywhere.

Needed time to get used to this.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_021

Classics.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_022

At tate modern.

What a HUGE space.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_023

Same place.

Light was HUGE to.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_024

Just outside tate.

Two girls facing the wall while eating.

Just focused on them and then suddenly got this peace sign.

Compared to NYC felt so noticeable in London.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_025

Lithuanian?

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_026

Tate again.

Britain this time.

See Dalia’s picture here.

Was searching for Francis Bacon and his popes.

Found just Crucifiction series.

But still happy about that – was curious to see it since I studied in academy.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_027

Saw this and remembered adventures with the pigeons at our balcony.

Damn!

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_028

Small talking series while eating in China town.

Tourists.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_032

Were crossing the park.

Could somebody explain why the word pelican is capitalized?

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_033

Saw this and got a flashback of NYC

(It’s not the first time I caught myself comparing London to NYC – can’t explain why)

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_034

Rain.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_035

Just took this one and it ended (somehow was expecting to get wet more often).

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_036

Could not resist taking this one.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_037

He used it as a megaphone – was singing into it.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_038

At the pub.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_039

We took a walk to the place we stayed at.

Was surprised to see these empty streets.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_041

Morning coffee+cake

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_040

And the view in front of us.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_042

We took a walk by the canal.

Was surprised to hear, that people are living in these boats – it has to be hell cold there during wintertime.

This one is about coicidence in photography.

And this is my favorite!

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_049

Dalia browsing the LPs.

London is not just for museums but for music stores too.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_050

Discovering shopping results.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_051

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_052

Took a bit longer walk by the canal.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_053

Fully packed.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_054

We passed this place like five times.

Finally I decided to capture him.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_055

Outside one of the pub…

(Here I felt noticable again)

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_056

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_057

Modern electrical system.

Same place, different angle.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_067

In NYC I made some mobile communication series.

The men in suits were the series I made in London

(these are smaller as the amount of time I spent in GB)

This guy was so surprised I was capturing him, that he looked behind him four or five times.

(this one goes into I-was-spoted series too)

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_068

This time I was waiting till he turns at gives me a look.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_069

Just outside the Photographers Gallery.

Saw the great exhibition of Sally Mann.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_070

The balance is way better with a suit.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_071

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_072

Almost symmetry.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_073

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_074

This one is about gentlemens.

(taken from double decker)

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_075

Just before leaving to airport we spent some time in City.

Not enought that’s for sure.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_078

A hip shot.

It was cloudy all the days and I was shooting on tri-x almost all the time. And then suddenly this sunlight.

On the other hand it’s not so bad – it’s possible to take pictures like this one – f22, 1/125.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_079

Leaving that beautiful light.

lakes_is_for_swimming_london_is_for_museums_080

Last glass of London Pride and last sunrays in London.

Cheers!
