ABOVE: HOMELESS MAN IN CENTRAL LONDON - AUGUST 2017 |

TRAFALGAR SQUARE Above and below are just a few pictures I took while running around Central London during the Summer on what was a quite busy time in town. But then it was in August, the height of the busy tourist season. It was in fact the very day I visited the spectacular Banqueting House in Whitehall. I just had to go and see that Rubens painted ceiling. I also seem to remember it being a special day. The weather was perfect and the whole area around The Thames and Westminster was really buzzing despite some of the recent setbacks that the Capital has endured. I managed to watch Street performers and spoke to one or two pavement artists. And yet I was only in Town for a whole morning happily snapping away at everything and anything. One wonders how much photographic images I might have accumulated had I hung around for the whole of that happy sunny day. It's easy to see why Central London is such a tourist magnet. |

OF COURSE THE CHIMES HAVE BEEN SILENCED WHILE THE REPAIR WORKS TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. BUT WE'RE TOLD THAT THE BELLS WILL ONCE AGAIN RING OUT SPECIALLY FOR THIS COMING NEW YEARS EVE. |
