London: A Tourist in My Own City
by Kate Maxwell
A curious thing happened as I was strolling down London's Regent Street last Friday: I reached for my camera and snapped the curved sweep of buildings and mottled blue sky above. Why did this surprise me? Because until I moved to New York 18 months ago, I was a Londoner. I'd turned tourist in my own city.
I spent the rest of the day looking on my old haunts with alien eyes, and rather enjoyed it. Check out the map above to see what I did. Or, click here for a larger version of the map. And go to our Facebook page to see my photo album.
