![[ Parliament with Big Ben ]](europe049.jpg)
Pretty self-explanatory, I'd say.
![[ Plaque for John By ]](europe050.jpg)
Just down the path and across the river from Parliament is a small plaque
set in a wall honouring the (presumably nearby) birthplace of Colonel John
By, founder of Ottawa. I guess the Historical Society of Ottawa (all three
members) thought this was worth marking.

Speaking of James Bond, this large, heavily fortified, security camera
festooned building with no sign out front is the headquarters of MI6,
Britain's secret service.
![[ Cops rousting a homeless man ]](europe052.jpg)
Sorry for the blurry shot but I didn't want the officers to turn their
attention to me as they busied themselves with rousting a homeless man next
to Covent Gardens Market. I'm not sure why, given that London does not
really seem to have a serious problem with the homeless. I suppose this
could be why...
