The British Museum is my favorite place in London, and one that I will miss from down here.
That's a great shot. I visiting the British museum in 1974 when I was a teenager. I imagine there have been lots of changes. I wish I could go back. Carver Wordless
Excellent shot!!! I really want to visit the British museum. I have never been before, but hubby has, and we plan to visit hopefully in the near future.
I would like to visit the British Museum. I have been there, just sat in the foyer for a moment and went out another door than the one I where I entered.
Mrs. Jim visited last time she was in London and got to see the Rosetta Stone. I am envious of the both of you. .. Tonight we are in Salina, Kansas, and hoping to be in Nebraska tomorrow. ..
What, no flower photo this week? Seriously, this is a wonderful image. I wonder if any one person ever has seen all there is to see in the British Museum?
Gorgeous photo! I love the angle from which you have caught all the wonderful angles and shapes and textures... and the black and white makes it richer and more dramatic I think.
the geometric lines are great! it gives the museum a modern look (as oppose to the "stuffy" stereotype look of museums)... this is a wonderful shot (and using black and white adds more emphasis to the pattern)...
I love everything about this shot - the black & white, the foreground, the background and the way the circular pattern of the ceiling radiates from part of the foreground. Really nice.

Stunning shot, amazing lines, and I love your choice of black and white. It makes the geometrics that much more arresting.

Superb composition and capture. Been there done that.
Great picture! Thanks for giving us a peek! Would love to travel outside the U.S. one day. Enjoy your week!
Bravo!
Hmmm...looks very modernistic! At least the ceiling! Great shot!
Happy WW!
impressive photo...
the ceiling looked like a cage that locked out the buildings!!
happy WW!
I took a similar photo while I was there, too! :D
I love everything about this shot - the black & white, the foreground, the background and the way the circular pattern of the ceiling radiates from part of the foreground. Really nice.
AWESOME!! Love the lines and shapes!
that's where I'd want to visit if I ever made it to England
Thanks everyone for your kind comments
Great shot. Love the lines.
I love the way you have taken this :-)
Oooh I've been there!! First time I've been able to say that on your blog. LOL!
