What a load of old…
I had a great time time with Cory (half of the Monkey River Town blog and Flickr account) and Mary Thursday in the British Museum. That is a truly incredible collection of antiquities, and free to boot. I pretty much spent the whole day there, and could easily have spent three (except that after a while you’d just OD and pass out somewhere under a piece of classic Greek sculpture).
The slideshow below has what is roughly the better half of the over 400 photos that I took that day. It starts with photos I took in the Colchester train station on my way out, so don’t be too confused. If you want to skip ahead, click on one of the little numbers under the sequence of thumbnails, and it’ll jump to that “page” of thumbnails. Page 13, for example, has way too many amazing sculptured heads.
Thanks a ton to Mary and Cory for inviting me down to spend the day with them - it really was excellent.
