Snow is not very common in London. Maybe snow falls and sticks once per winter. And when it happens, the city shuts down, transport grinds to a halt and the airports have difficulty coping. If you have nowhere to go, this can be a great excuse to stay in and enjoy the quiet. In the morning one of these snowy mornings, I went by Regents Park to get some snow photos of the area.

London: Camden
Google says: The London Borough of Camden is a borough of London, England, which forms part of Inner London.
Camden Town, is however, known to be more of an alternative young town within London, where famous former resident Amy Winehouse chose to live and spend much time. Camden is well-known for its markets and night-life, and below are some photos from the much beloved area of London.
I particularly love the shot of the man on the motorcycle-style seat in Camden market (middle photo). These motorcycle-seats are a common resting place in Camden's markets and overlook the lock.

France: Soldes in Paris!!
Soldes in France is the two times per year that sales occur in France. And let me tell you, when there are sales in Paris, there are significant sales!!! I happened to strike it right at arrive in Paris on one of the first few days of the Soldes, which resulted in spending way too many hours in Galleria Lafayette, my Soldes favorite!
This photo is from the impressive dome-ceiling in Galleria Lafayette. It changes colors fairly frequently and can be seen from all floors within the store.

London: London Tower Bridge
London Tower Bridge has to be my favorite landmark in London. Its bright blue color and intricate details set it apart from any other bridge I have seen anywhere in the world. It is also lit beautifully at night. The bottom photo is a view of the city and London Tower (where the crown jewels are kept) from the London Tower Bridge.
