Seeing London's Architecture

Seeing London's Architecture--taught by the ridiculous, eccentric, passionate, and insipiring Benedict O'Looney (he has his own UrbanDictionary entry)--is a history/drawing/engineering/vocabulary/touring/life lessons (although it is labeled as an architecture class) class I'm taking this semester. For the first 8 weeks of class the touring was pretty miserable because London is a very gray, damn cold city. But yesterday, class was completely different. The sun has started to shine in London and it feels like spring.

 For class yesterday we walked to the magnificent Christopher Wren's St. Paul's Cathedral and enjoyed the surrounding buildings. It was the perfect day for it.  Everything looked so beautiful. And it was actually warm outside! At the end of class we visited the observation deck of a new high-tech, low-energy retail/office building in the area to sketch. It was amazing! Such a great view of the city. My favorite class we've had by far.

I sat there drawing St. Paul's until dusk. Because it was just that kind of day.

London is a much nicer, more beautiful city when the sun is out. I hope this spring weather continues!
