Opintomatka Lontooseen / Study tour to London

Kouluni viimeiseen opintojaksoon kuului opintomatka Lontooseen, jossa tutustuimme alamme merkittäviin yrityksiin ja toimijoihin.

Kun kuljimme pisin Lontoota yrityksestä toiseen, napsin kuvia aina kun mahdollista. Olen viettänyt paljon aikaa Lontoossa aikaisemminkin, mutta siitä on jo vierähtänyt 24 vuotta!

Tulen nyt useampana päivänä käymään läpi matkaamme, koska kuvia tuli otettua aika tavalla. Tänään aloitetaan historiallisista rakennuksista.

Big Ben was built 1859. Bell itself weights over 14 tons and the minute hand is over 4 meters long. Unfortunately whole building was under construction.

After 24 years I visited London again. As a part of our education program we were going through important corporate's and industries related to our business area.

Always when we were going from one place into another, I took pictures. I have quite a few pictures and today I presented historic buildings.

As you can see, weather was quite cloudy and it was surprisingly cold. On our arrival day there was even snow on the ground.
