#284 - Sit in the Great Court at the British Museum

Timeout said:
The largest enclosed courtyard in Europe, the British Museum's Great Court has all the benfits of a classical public square - grandeur, proportion, shops, restaurants, people, events, light, air - without any of the attendant meteorological risks.

The first thing you notice about the British Museum as you enter is the absolutely huge skydome above it! It is quite simply amazing to look up at, but as I found out time and time again, it is also one of the most frustrating things to try and capture on camera! The scale, and pattern of the undulating glass roof (made up of 3,300 separate triangles by the way) just cannot be included in a straight forward photo shot!
