Favourite Photos of the last 10 years - Episode 5 - 'Big Cities, Big Views'



I'm sorry, there are about 40 photos here
this is one of my larger anniversary posts.

But, I am so glad we spent the money when we did
and went to some of these places.

Because, the world has changed.

 Above:- 'High on Table Mountain'

This is my favourite photo of this episode which focuses
on Photos of Graham and I as we travel around the world during the past 10 years.
Not to mention all the silly hats we seem to wear...
 
Thank you to the unknown fellow tourist who took the above photo for us.

 To explain, we are on the top walkway of Tower Bridge where they have a glass floor and a mirrored ceiling so you can take selfies with the cars and people crossing the bridge below you, cool...

Below is the bridge, taken the same day.
