Time is on my side

My stay in London is over and these are the pictures from my last weekend. On Saturday I went to Buckingham Palace and to walk in St. James Park, that has a small lake with two islands and the Blue Bridge across the lake affords a view west towards Buckingham Palace framed by trees. Looking east the view includes the Swire fountain to the north of Duck Island and, past the lake, the grounds known as the Horse Guards Parade, with the Horse Guards building, the Old War Office building, and Whitehall Court progressively behind. That’s really impressive. Sunday instead, was all about Tate Britain, that houses a substantial collection of the art of the United Kingdom since Tudor times, and in particular has large holdings of the works of J. M. W. Turner, who bequeathed all his own collection to the nation. The part that appreciate most is the one dedicated to Pre-Raphaelite’s works, where is the Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millais, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river in Denmark.
