Phil and I flew to London last Friday evening, May 9th, in order to spend the weekend there. This was the first picture I took on the trip, the United 777's wing with the rising sun beyond, and I took it very early Saturday morning, May 10th, as we neared our destination.

As we did a bit of circling prior to landing at Heathrow Airport outside London (our flight was arriving early!), I took this picture of some fields of rapeseed, which appear to be in the process of blossoming. When the rapeseed is in full bloom, the fields are brilliant yellow against the green grass and green trees. Absolutely beautiful.

Heathrow's new control tower. I love this stuff! ha

Departing Heathrow Airport, May 12th, for our flight home to Chicago
