Royal Armouries' collection, crown jewels, crowns and diamonds, ravens that are cared for by the Yeomen or Beefeaters, a chapel,
you can see the towers where people were beheaded etc, the dyke,
fortress all around etc, easily can spend most of a day there

another couple from Angkor, a couple from Shanghai and then I'm done.
This is of Angkor Wat at sunrise. The two towers near the center of the pic are at it's gate, and the group of five towers together at the right are the main towers at the center of the temple.

This is the steps leading up to an altar area on top of a smaller temple at Angkor.

This is Pudong. The ultra-modern new area of Shanghai, where cool buildings are being put up non-stop. This was taken a year ago. A similar shot now would also have what I believe is the current world's tallest building in it.

The building in the front is a British colonial clock tower in the area of Shanghai called the Bund, which is all colonial architecture. The roof of the newer building in the back is designed to look like a lotus, and I believe is the headquarters of HP in Shanghai.
