The Other Photo Story - Lunch at Hampton Court - or Nate de Jour






















Hyde Park, Hard Rock, and Harrod's

Today was a walk in the park, Hyde Park. We were photographing moving water shots and trying to make them appear as though frozen in time and standing still. We explored the the Princess Diana Memorial Playground. It has a pirate ship, Indian teepees, swings, slides, statues, and is quite something. The lucky children who get to play there on a regular basis must be very happy. We also walked to the statue of Peter Pan further down the park. There are several cafes in the park, as well. Hyde Park covers quite a large area, and we covered a good bit of it today. Later we had lunch at the original Hard Rock Cafe. I had to order chicken wings, because it's been at least two weeks since I've eaten that American dish. To top off the day, we browsed through the food halls of Harrod's. They really are truly amazing, containing everything from chocolate to sushi. It was a good thing we had already eaten. Tonight we're doing laundry and packing for Paris tomorrow!
