Well today I spent most of my time snapping around the City of London (
more about this tomorrow) - what I'd like to share with you today is a little about
'The Monument' where we met to enjoy taking some photo's.
 |
| A tube stop -but hold on it's much more. |
It's a stop on the underground but also so much more...
 |
| The base of the Monument |
It's odd that I've never really fully considered this landmark which actually commemorates the Great Fire of
 |
| 311 steps- quite a climb |
London and in turn I suppose the founding of the modern city which many of us find a very special place.
 |
| Things are looking up |
Work on the commemorative project just a short walk from where the fire
started in Pudding Lane commenced in 1671 just 5 years after the catastrophic calamity.
 |
| There are people up there! |
Although of late the London Skyline has many tall buildings it remains a great place to see the city from and when I saw people peaking out from above I knew I should go up there and sample the high life.
Well it costs £4.00 to go up the monument and you get a certificate and a great view of things like
'The Walkie-Talkie' (famous for it's death rays) and it's when you see it from up there that you realise just how big it is.

| Get certificated |
 |
| It is seriously large |
