Day #152 @ Photography Project 365

We visited the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. This is a photo of the Ardabil Carpet, the oldest dated carpet in the world. It was completed between 1539 and 1540. It's completely enclosed in a glass room where humidity and light is controlled to ensure that the colors are preserved

Day #151 @ Photography Project 365

This photo was taken on our first day out in London. It was raining (as usual) and we decided to visit the National Museum. The problem was that there are so many museums in London and everyone we asked pointed us to a different one. I had heard a lot about the Egyptian Collection in one of the museums and tried to find that one. Unfortunately, my instincts led me to the wrong one.

London was so crowded (as you can see in this photo here). There were lots of tourists when we were there. Compared to Germany, I have to say that the Metro system there is pretty outdated.

Day #150 @ Photography Project 365

We're were in London for a few days on vacation. I've been to London several times but there's still so much that I have not seen. Besides, my wife has never really been there. So, we decided this year that we'd visit London together.

I took this photo from the train whilst still in Munich - we were headed for the airport. This is first time we flew with EasyJet. We chose EasyJet over Ryanair because the latter flies from the main Munich airport. Ryanair on the other hand flies from a much smaller airport that is pretty far out of Munich. They call it Munich West Airport but "100km West of Munich Airport" would be a more appropriate name.

I took this second photo from the plane. Obviously, I had to use a very high ISO because it was dark and this has resulted in a rather grainy shot. Nonetheless, after the regular post-processing enhancements, I reduced clarity to make the noise a little more subtle.
