In 1977, my wife and I went to England just
before the Queen's Jubilee. We visited London, saw the
rehearsal of the trooping of the colors, drove out to the
Cotswolds, down to Salisbury Plain, and then over to
Brighton. From Brighton we drove north to Reading to visit
friends and ended our trip back in London. During this trip
I took many photos, all on slides. With the advent of
digital photography, I've been able to convert many of my
slides into digital images which you will see here. This is
a selection of the photos I took on that trip. While some
are related, they are presented in no particular
order.
Among the photos, you will see some portraits
which are of my wife Carole; myself; a longtime friend and
penpal of my father's, Leslie Morris; and two friends from
Sydney, Australia, Robyn and Rick, who were then staying in
Reading. You will also see scenes of London; the activities
of the red-coated British military, including changing of
the guard at Buckingham Palace, the trooping of the colours,
and at the Tower of London; Brighton and its Royal Pavilion;
Salisbury Cathedral; Stonehenge; Bath and the River Avon; a
mummy at the British Museum; and the inside of St. Paul's
Cathedral.
