I will definitely let you know if I get any more lens. I think for the moment I will have to be happy with what I have. And overall, I am happy with them. One day I would love to have a longer reaching lens. Sometimes when you are shooting birds, 300 mm still doesn't get as close as I would like.

It is indeed. Well we have the Canadian House of Parliament in Ottawa [link]
no tower bridge yet

Well... No river next to the Parliament... But who cares? The Tower Bridge must be

OK, in Poland we don't have tower bridge, nor Big Ben tower, and our House of Parliament is designed like a circus... Sad that politicians are trying to be clowns...

A steam clock ?? Never heard anything like it. If it wasn't proven by your picture, I would say : You're trying to pull my leg here.

Oh, and great shot !!

That is so cool! I suppose if you had a shop right beside it it might get annoying.........
