I wish, I wish, they were mine:

Those are rather good. Some of them would make rather splendid desktops, I thought.

They are most splendid.

Although I rather like the more abstract pattern-like ones, number 15 looking up the Thames reminds me of the near-religious experience of Flying-Into-London-City-Airport-Via-The-Most-Pleasing-Route, which is just fantastic.

They are fabulous. I'm a sucker for aerial photos at the best of time.

Last time I flew into City, we banked directly over St Paul's on our approach - absolutely amazing.

Last weekend, I came into Heathrow but had the gorgeous view on a clear night as we came along the Thames. The Eye was lit up with Olympic ring colours, you could see the Piccadilly Circus screens and the city really made me smile.

No. 15 is my favourite

A hard reboot of my iPod touch was in order. That webpage crashed my browser! From what I saw it looked good and they are worth the wait till I get home. The picture of big ben reminded me of the game Civilisation.

Quite stunning. I'm pretty sure aerial photography isn't all that easy either.

I know, they were so clear! It's not like you can set up tripod shots for long exposure in a helicopter.
