Jake & Dinos Chapman, Eden Installation, The Saatchi gallery.

Sarah Lucas, Tongue & Groove.

Some guy looking at the Marc Quinn Self-Portrait in his own frozen blood. You can see the temperature on the freezer in the detail. That's Damien Hirst's Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (the shark floating in a Sol Lewitt-like cube structure) in the background. There were other works in this space I wanted to shoot but the Nazi-like guard told me to stop taking photographs.

So I moved to another gallery. This is Jake & Dinos Chapman, again. These terrariums (6 in all, terraria?) are filled with millions of miniature figures. The title, Hell, of course.

Detail of miniature soldier heads on pikes. I'm having a Lord of the Flies moment at this point.

Berlinde de Bruyckere covers casts of animals (here a horse) with skins.

Another view. Would it be crass to say that this work has a lovely movement forcing the viewer to circle it not unlike Donatello's David?

Grayson Perry ceramic on the left, Chris Ofili's Afrodisia on the right.

What is it with this "dead animal art" theme going on here??? This is Jordan Baseman, The Cat and The Dog. Those are real skins with modeled heads.

The Saatchi gallery while crossing the Westminster Bridge. By the way, my feet are completely "broken" by this time.

Big Ben at just after 3 p.m.

The Anti-Bush and Blair demonstrations in front of the Houses of Parliament.

A man walking his pet ferret on a leash. (The ferret is the white thing rolling in the leaves in front of the gate).

Lineup of Policemen (mostly sleeping, btw) at St. James' Park (just off the Mall), in anticipation of a march planned for this afternoon. Evidently some completely unprecedented number of policemen (14,000 I think) were on hand for the Bush visit.

Here are some of them out of the buses.

Here is what the Mall looked like for Bush's visit... lined with British and American flags.

The Mall Gallery. This place had a show called "The Discerning Eye" judged by a panel of 2 artists, 2 critics and 2 collectors. None of the artists names appear by their works here... but the catalogue you can buy has a lot of information about the 6 judges.

More Dead Animal Art. This is a stuffed baby bison. It won a prize. The artist is Emily Mayer.

Here's another of her works, titled Precious Cargo. At this point I hear a commotion outside.

Hey, the riot--er--march has started!

detail of jovial picketers. I move on towards Trafalgar Square.

Interesting use of kiosks for the Bill Viola show at the National Gallery... you can preview all of his video pieces here before you go into the galleries... or just watch them here and save yourself $16.00.

Trafalgar Square, with Big Ben in the background.

Demonstrator giving interview to reporter, Trafalgar Square.

The National Gallery is doing some construction. They hung these very large educational and sometimes humorous panels on the outside. These face directly on Trafalgar Square.
