A Break at Nelson’s Column. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Two young men taking a break on a ledge, Nelson’s Column, London.
Before I began my recent string of Sierra Nevada photographs — unearthed, recovered, rediscovered for another project — I was sharing photographs from a trip to the UK and Europe nearly a decade ago. I had shared some work from Germany, Austria, and London… but I had not completed the sharing of all of that work. Starting with his photograph, I’m going to begin to work my way through a bit more of that backlog.
During this London visit we did many of the usual London things. (Though we also do not always operate in the usual way of travelers — for example, rather than deciding ahead of time what to see we often set out blindly in new places to discover unexpected things.) In any case, one of those things one must do is visit Trafalgar Square, the location of Nelson’s Column. When we were there, a lot of people were using the lower portion of the structure as a place to sit and perhaps have a snack… and these two fellows had found special perch just a higher than the rest.
