PEOPLE IN LONDON PHOTOS GALLERY (5)

a very mixed bag pf photos in the following 'people' galleries. Events, demonstrations and various other people participation shindigs occur throughout the year - particularly the summer months - so there's always something or somebody to take photos of.  From the city of London Lord Mayors show to street entertainers trying to lighten the pockets of London visitors. Cycling days, unclothed bike rides, protests covering a wide variety of grievances all give the photographer ample opportunity to get a out and about. If i become reluctant to take snaps of people then i can always turn my attention to other London related stuff, the buildings, parks, landmarks and anything else of interest

  birdman of st james's park

there's something about this man that's attracting the birds and i don't think it's pheromones or his shorts
