Hello to all the community! I hope you are well, today as promised, I continue with the second part of this short trip to London, that I made some time ago, when I was still living in Europe.
In this second chapter I'm going to show you some pictures of central London and some of the West End.
I had never visited London before, so any place and situation was more than welcome, when I travel besides a minimum of organization and planning, I enjoy a lot to let myself be carried away by the events and situations that arise.
That morning for example from a wrong exit of the subway, I got to know the famous Tower Bridge and Tower Hill area.
*(Hola a toda la comunidad! espero que se encuentren bien, hoy como prometido, sigo con la segunda parte de este breve viaje a Londres, que realicè un tiempo atràs, cuando vivìa todavìa en Europa.
En este segundo capitulo voy a mostrarles algunas capturas de la zona central de Londres y algunas del West End.
Nunca habia visitado Londres, de manera que cualquier lugar y situaciòn era màs que bienvenida, cuando viajo ademàs de un minimo de organizaciòn y planeo, disfruto mucho dejarme llevar por los eventos y situaciones que se presentan.
Esa mañana por ejemplo de una salida equivocada del subte, conocì el famoso Tower Bridge y la zona de Tower Hill.)*
As there was no chance to get a good picture of the bridge from that perspective, I concentrated on getting a good view of the place and I found a few steps away the famous Tower of London, one of the best preserved medieval castles in the world.
(Como no habia chance de obtener una buena foto del puente desde esa pespectiva, me concentrè en perlustrar el lugar y me encontrè a pocos pasos la famosa Torre de Londres, uno de los castillos medievales mejor conservados del mundo.)
Although known primarily as a place of confinement and execution, over the years this castle also served as a palace, mint, archive, armory, barracks and royal zoo.
(Aunque se lo conoce principalmente como un lugar de reclusión y ejecución, a lo largo de los años este castillo también funcionó como palacio, casa de la moneda, archivo, armería, cuartel y zoológico real.)
The images above are of the Tower Hill Sundial, designed by architect John Chitty and sculptor Edwin Russell. It is located in front of Tower Hill tube station. Commissioned by London Underground Ltd, it was built in bronze and stone, it is circumscribed by a bronze band with bas-relief sculptures illustrating 2000 years of London's transport history between 1066 and 1982.
(Las imagenes de arriba son del Tower Hill Sundial, realizado por el arquitecto John Chitty y el escultor Edwin Russell. Se encuentra en frente a la estación de metro Tower Hill. Encargado por London Underground Ltd, fue construido en bronce y piedra, está circunscrito por una banda de bronce con esculturas en bajo relieve que ilustran 2000 años de la historia del transporte de Londres entre 1066 y 1982.)
After noon we headed towards the West End and decided to visit Hyde Park, this huge green lung of 145 hectares of extension, which contains emblematic places such as Speaker Corner, the northeast corner of the park, where is the only point in Great Britain where it is not necessary the authorization of the police to meet in assembly.
(Pasado el mediodia nos dirigimos hacia el West End y decidimos visitar Hyde Park, este enorme pulmon verde de 145 hectareas de extension, que contiene lugares emblematicos como el Speaker Corner, la esquina noreste del parque, donde se encuentra el único punto de Gran Bretaña donde no es necesaria la autorización de la policía para reunirse en asamblea.)
Its endless walks amidst towering trees, ponds and large lawns make this park a unique place, where you can forget for a few moments the frenetic and chaotic reality of the city. With the passing of the afternoon there are numerous families who gather to enjoy the park.
(Sus recorridos interminables en medio de imponentes arboles, lagunas y sus grandes prados hacen de este parque un lugar unico, donde olvidar por unos momentos la realidad frenetica y caotica de la ciudad. Con el transcurrir de la tarde son numerosas las familias que se reunen para disfrutar.)
I will close this post with two interesting sculptures that I saw during that day, the feline is located in the area of the Tower of London and as far as I could see are made with metal elements, as a kind of metal mesh, about the other sculpture, the horse head, I could get more information on site, and it is a work called Still Water by the artist Nic Fiddian-Green, made of bronze and has a height of 10 meters.
(Voy a cerrar este post con dos esculturas interesantes que vi durante ese dia, la de los felinos se encuentra en la zona de la Tower of London y por lo que pude observar estan realizadas con elementos metalicos, como una especie de malla metalica, sobre la otra escultura, la cabeza de caballo, pude obtener mas informaciòn en el lugar, y se trata de una obra llamada Still Water realizada por el artista Nic Fiddian-Green, realizad en bronce y tiene una altura de 10 metros.)
Dear members, thank you for taking the time to view this brief history of this little trip to London.
These are very important memories for me, because as a professional tattoo artist, it was my first visit to the London Tattoo Convention, although it was not a working trip, it was very exciting to see this world up close, where at that time I was slowly getting into.
Thanks again for following me on this trip, see you soon, take care!

Gracias nuevamente por seguirme en este viaje, hasta pronto cuidense!)
