Being an idiot I headed straigt to the Tate Modern this afternoon. I got there and got inside to find all of the ticketing offices closed and no signs up at all for the directions to my exhibt. A quick scoot around found a poster for, and some directions on how to get to the Tate Britain about 7 tube stops away. Good thing I had allowed a whole lot of extra time for walking around and taking photos. So I made it on time no problem at all.

It was a good exhibit, I don’t know anything about art other than what I like. Turner’s work overall was the most impressive of the three. I liked his paintings of the burning of the Houses of Parliament alot, Monet’s 4 afternoon paintings were also excellent. For single paintings, Monet’s Venice at Dusk is deserved of it’s fame but the single painting to jump out and hit hard was also Monet’s ; Waterloo Bridge: Sun in the Fog. It’s not something that images do justice to. I like it alot.

I’m still not feeling 100% so I figured I’d take the riverboat back to the Tate Modern and continue with the planned photo taking. I hadn’t realised how cheap it actually is. Not all that much more than the tube and somewhat more plesant! As soon as we got moving it brought a rush of memories back. The last time I had been on a boat was in Tokyo in November 2002. For some reason I just flashed back to that bigtime. Anyway that was good and I wandered around for a few hours taking photos. Nothing major and all are up on Flickr already. Not that many photos but I did walk for 3 or 4 hours which was nice given I’ve been cooped up at home most of the week.

I’m pretty tired as a result and will crash pretty soon.
