National Maritime Museum - first visit with illustrious guests. :)

[aliera]

It was amazing - the museum is HUGE, and we only saw a bit of it.
We (Beloved, Master Erestor, Eve, Miss C. and I) wandered in and out of rooms for most of the day (I kind of got lost. Yes. I know.), and had a most splendid time.

I am told that the illustrious visitors stared at the uniforms for quite some time (well, consider research......), Beloved lost himself in the models' room, and I ended up orbiting around the propeller at the entrance (and then tried to locate any of them and got lost. So I went out and shot some in the failing light).

I found the Nelson room actually moving - it's one thing to know about stuff intellectually, quite another to look at the actual uniform Nelson was wearing when he was wounded. As Erestor said, it made him 3-D all of a sudden.

But anyway.

We need to go back and see the rest... And I would like to have another go at photographing things, because I wasn't exactly in fine form (happens to the best of us, you know...)

All I have to show for the day is this:



Nice propeller portrait, but I have definitely had better days...:)

Back! :-D Very tired, but in one piece. And wasn't it a wonderfully geeky day we had! Thanks again so much for everything, you really spoiled me rotten. :) Miss C. and me went to the Doctor Who exhibition (it's official now, she IS a fanpoodle!) and I took all the pictures I wasn't allowed to take at the NMM. Expect a picspam later in the day, I fought heroically with some alien monsters.

I hope we'll meet soon again! :-D *big hugs*

PS: Gifts for you and the boys will follow by mail. :)
