understanding the past and understanding the future

I did take pictures of live people on April 4 as well as the monuments of those who are no longer among the living.

 

After spending the morning in Highgate, I decided to take another London Walks tour in the afternoon. This one was their British Museum walk. I can't say I recommend it since the guide was very stodgy and dry but she did show the highlights I probably wouldn't have found on my own.

 

This is one example - the Rosetta Stone.

 

Well I shouldn't say it's the Rosetta Stone so much as the Rosetta Stone through glass. But since I couldn't get to the front of it, I did the next best thing. I shot the reflections on the Rosetta Stone in a sort of candid.

 

This look is pretty typical of those I saw of people walking away from the stone.
