We were only in London for a short time on this trip. We’ve visited there several times in the past, and with the last two visits adding up to about two weeks we wanted to save our time for other places later in the trip that were going to be new to us. If that was the case, why stop there at all? The reasons were mostly practical — less expensive flights to London, an easy place to catch a train to our next stop in the Netherlands. But we also wanted to do a couple of specific things while we were there — catch one of the Proms concerts and visit a particular pub.

I don’t recall at the moment precisely where I made this photograph. I suppose I could figure it out by reviewing the photographs before and after and then consulting a map. But I’m not sure it matters too much. The surrounds look fairly typical of central London, aside from the momentary lack of lots of other people. It was the woman’s orange skirt that first caught my attention — it stood out in this scene that otherwise mostly consists of somewhat muted tones.
