Just more pics...

St. Pancras station
Trafalgar Square looking north
Trafalgar Square looking south
Little F355, Big F355
Orange Aero bars
Haymarket, middle of the street.
London Transport Museum...
1) St Pancras station, taken in 2000 (well, all the Advantix shots in London were taken in July 2000)... note that this isn't the Harry Potter train station, but it's right next to King's Cross station. St Pancras station is just... weird. When I checked out what it was like inside, it seemed almost like some sort of sanctuary and not a train station. For whatever reason, at the time I visited, there didn't seem to be any trains arriving or departing, so it seemed just empty.

2 & 3) Trafalgar Square... not that much to say about it, really, but... yeah, it is one of those places that benefits from the widescreen format.

4) Another shot of the big and small Ferrari F355 from the display on Sherbrooke street in front of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Montreal as part of a Ferrari display on Canadian Grand Prix weekend in June 2001.

5) Scans of my favourite milk chocolate bar, Nestlé's Orange Aero (well, technically, I think they call it "Aero Orange"). From top to bottom... Canadian Orange Aero from the mid-90s, British Orange Aero purchased in 1998, British Orange Aero purchased in 2000, and Canadian Orange Aero purchased in October 2002 (when I made the scan). They didn't have the orange-flavoured Aero in Canada for years and years, from about 1996 to 2002, so I started hoarding them, but now it seems to be back for good.

6) Looking up Haymarket street, towards Piccadilly... I think it's called, and the Trocadero commercial attractions building. Obviously, I was standing on a traffic island between the two lanes.

7) The London Transport Museum at Covent Garden, one of my personal favourite attractions in London, though, obviously, how much it would interest you depends on how much you like looking at old buses and train cars and the history of the "Map" (as in the Tube map, which was a very abstract way of conveying geographical information at the time, focusing on connections rather than accurate geographical distances). http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/

That's about it for the London Advantix pics, I'm afraid... I haven't been back to London since 2000, but I'm eager to see it again.

great pics, kiyone! you and your bro don't look that much alike? Tue 25-Nov-2003 19:31
