Javier and I before my London Metropolitan University lecture

During the lecture at London Metropolitan University

This is during my lecture at the University of Hull at Scarborough

Anne Bronte came to Scarborough for the healing spa waters - she died - this is where she's buried

The board at Kings Cross rail station: everyone congregates here to find out from which platform their train will depart (then everyone makes a mad rush for the train)

This is the Westminster Cathedral

Dinner with friends Javier and Alicja in London

Alright, sorry for the touristy photo of me in a London phone booth... so very sorry!

Big Ben a night!

In London there seems to be a C of E church on every corner; here's one in Notting Hill (yes, just like the movie)

Roman era wall that went around London (near the Tower of London).

This is the Tower Bridge from one perspective on a rainy London afternoon (per usual)

This is another view of Tower Bridge on a rainy London afternoon (per usual)

The Tower of London as seen from a nearby subway station

Within the Tower of London this structure is call White Tower; there are exhibits in here on period armory and the crown jewels (and the biggest punch bowl I've ever seen!)

One of the first things you see in the White Tower is a chapel

The last tower I climbed (many hundreds of steps were climbed) was the "Bloody Tower," aptly named for the murder of the sons of Edward IV (Edward V and Richard), two heirs to the crown in 1483 (two suspects were Richard III or Henry VII)

The "London Underground" or tube is the quickest but most costly way to getting from one place to another

A view from a car on the way from the countryside to Aberdeen at sunrise

This is High Street through the campus of the University of Aberdeen (founded in the 15th century)

Another building on the University of Aberdeen campus (I believe it is a church but will check on that)

The Salvation Army building in downtown Aberdeen at night. This place is full of such wonderful granite structures!

Our concert was in the atrium of the Medical Institute at the University of Aberdeen; this is the ad that was rotating on their internal memo system

Pete Stollery and I under the display monitor

This is the meadows at the park across from the B&B I was staying at while in Edinburgh

This was the first monument I saw as I left the train station upon arriving in Edinburgh

Walking along the streets in Edinburgh is very picturesque!

Approaching the main gate to the Edinburgh Castle: the scaffolding was being erected for the forthcoming "tatoo"

You have to love people that have a cemetary for their soldier dogs (one of them was even stuffed and on display in the military history museum, named "Bob")

Out for a "pint" with Robert Dow, James Wyness, me, Jeff Herriott and Pete Stoller (lft - rt)

This is me in front of the board at the University of Edinburgh

Every day at 1 o'clock they fire this gun; time around the kingdom historically was synchronized by this event daily

This is St. John's Scottish Episcopal Church near the base of the Edinburgh Castle

Here is the University of Edinburgh Student Union building (fancier than the Reitz Union at UF!)

This is the concert hall where I performed during the "Soundings" festival

These are examples of the infamous "tweeter trees" used in many UK diffusion systems (a la "BEAST")

Indeed, this is the obligatory photo with Clansman in "traditional" regalia (me on left, Jeff Herriott on the right)
