canal, seafront, etc

A very damp morning, but it cleared up enough for us to go on a walk up the Regents Park canal - as far as Kentish Town - before lunch.  This looks like ribbed paving under a bridge - it's actually reflections.

And here's Alice, holding up the Constitution,

and showing something to my cousin Gaynor - possibly pictures of the L.A. fires that we took from our house and a friend's house - these are still scary images.

Here's The Shard, seen from below - from the train - decidedly foreshortened -

and here's the view from our room in Brighton.  And yes, it did rain again shortly after this ... but it was clear after dinner - after a very good dinner - and we went for a wander down the front.
