British Out-Takes, 2026, III

At the V&A...linguistic change is so interesting...we had
to ask a docent whether there was a dragon behind the
"hoarding"...turns out hoarding is just "boarding"...a 
wooden barrier

 


Strolling through Belgravia one day...the topiary announcing a 
pretty nice shop..."luxury goods"

One of three windows at an antique camera shop near Victoria Station

So much going on in this shot...

Turn signals embedded in the headlights

Still processing this

Fellow tourists

After hours at the Horse Guards

Poetry stand ..."on any topic...pay what you want"...there now are designated 
buskers' stations at Trafalgar

Sic transit, Gloria...having been replaced in yonder fountain, the old,
worn griffins are now awaiting their fate... The Regent's Park

Nearby sculpture in a business complex

Show curtain look on Oxford Street

Standard British public service

Dressed for Oxford Street

A few blocks from our flat

As an MP, he could walk to work; moved on after he got
the job at the Admiralty

Fellow bus rider..got off at the Churchill 
War Rooms


New signage at the V&A Storehouse...replacing the 
conventional...






































Dawn of our last full day...see you again, London!
