Here we have the inagural Mama's Boy Photo, taken at the North Doors of Westminster Abbey in London back in 2005, I believe. Here is a close-up:
This image shows the entire North fascade, including flying butresses & rose window. The Abbey is properly called the Church of St. Peter & you can see an inset of the first pope in a little nook just above the doors.
Below are the more recognizable West towers. To the bottom-right there is a row of statues - the ten Martyrs of the Twentieth Century, which included Martin Luther King & more surprisingly (though not really) St. Maximillian Kolbe. Ora pro nobis!

One is not allowed to take photos inside the Abbey, but if one has a very small digital camera & doesn't use one's flash, one can snap a few without being chastized by old, grumpy men in red robes. On a column to the left is a large icon similar to Our Lady of Kazan. This was the first icon I ever really recall seeing & was quite taken with it (I keep a small icon of Kazan on my desk at work).

Consider it a Mama's Boy bonus photo!
