Saturday Snapshot- Museums and Rivers of the UK

We're starting a new month-and unfortunately ending a series here on my blog. For the past few weeks, I've been posting about my trip to the UK  back in 2009 every Saturday, as part of Saturday Snapshot hosted by Melinda. Today, I'll be sharing with you guys the last post in that series.

I debated whether or not to publish this post for a while, because I can't remember where we took these pictures! I decided to share them with you anyway though- so I hope any of you hoping to visit the UK will forgive me for not providing you with details!




Perhaps someone who lives in the UK will be able to help me out with the locations?

  1. I've enjoyed your UK photos, and I'm looking forward to whatever pictures you post next.
    I don't know where the first picture was taken, but the second one is definitely Tower Bridge in London. I'm guessing that mummy case is in the British Museum... but I could be wrong!
    Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

    1. Thanks Sandra! Melinda also assumes that the mummy was taken in the British Museum.

  3. The second picture is the Thames in London and the 3rd is the British Museum, but I'm not sure about the first picture!

    1. Thanks a lot Melinda! I really was unsure about which museum we took that picture in, although I remembered that the only river we'd really walked by was the Thames!

      Enjoy your weekend!

  4. Oh, how wonderful. It's been years, but I've visited the U.K. as well. I have a lot of fond memories and it's always nice to have photos where you can reminisce, even if you can't quite remember where they took place. Hope you're enjoying your Saturday!

    1. Exactly! I love to look back on old pictures but I often forget that we have them- and wait too long before perusing them so I usually forget where we took them!

      Thanks for stopping by Alicia.

    1. The first one is the Prime Meridian Marker at the Greenwich Observatory.

      Drama camp was a hit with my daughter. My son is doing well with cross country. And our big move is less than two weeks away! Come see what I've been reading

    1. Thanks a lot Greg. Most of these pictures were taken by my dad. I didn't know how to handle a camera back then- not that I'm a great photographer now either!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
