In the summer of 2025, I took a solo-ish trip to London to go see Oasis’s reunion tour at Wembley Stadium. While in London, I got to explore the city, meetup with friends who had moved there and others that were from there, and enjoy a great concert.

Most of the photos in this small gallery came from my trip to Kew Gardens, which was an amazing experience. To get there, I took a boat down the Thames with a particularly silly navigator whose name escapes me. And then I got to enjoy the lovely, and fairly quiet gardens.

Similar to my trip to Antarctica, all of the images were shot either on my Sony RX100 VA or Sony A7C (with a Tamron 28-200mm lens). The camera is noted in the caption of each image, along with its settings. The focal lengths in the captions are all (very roughly) the full-frame equivalent. Since the Sony RX100 VA uses a 1 inch sensor, all the focal lengths are multiplied by about 2.7.
