St. Paul's and the Girls

St. Paul's was truly stunning, dwarfing the other cathedrals we had seen in both scale and grandeur, but the church seems to recognize this and has banned photography in order to secure a monopoly on images of the spectacular interior.  I was, however, permitted to take photos of the exterior and included a couple of my favorites below.

In truth, I was allowed to take one picture of the interior.  It was rushed and is taken through thick plexiglass, but should at least give an idea of what the Cathedral looked like from the top of the dome.

The two pictures immediately following are of Mom and Liz, and were taken as we toured St. Paul's.  The first was taken from the top of the dome and the second from the Millennium Bridge.  I also included a third to give a different vantage point of the city, highlighting the Shard and the Tower Bridge.
