Picadilly

I took this when i was at a conference in London over the summer. I managed to wangle it so I spent the weekend in London being a tourist. I love the fact that seasoned londoners just wander past places like these while at the same time newcomers are awestruck and beome very snap happy! I guess once you get used to somewhere you stop paying attention to where you are!

Yeah - its the Times Square of London. I know when i lived there i walked past this many times to go back to Russell square where i called home for a little bit. Its funny i don't remember taking any pictures of this tho. I suppose i became one of them, just passing it by.

I like the rich colors you have captured here, i notice that London still looks the same. Mostly overcast everyday - heck i remember when it would be sunny, i would look about and think huh whats different, why does this city look sooooo different today. THEN it HIT me, oh the suns out - cheers to a fine capture of your memories as well as mine.
