further than i usually walk

080728_350d_img_7828.jpg

i got up early a couple of weeks ago and arrived a few hours early for a meeting so i could walk further east than i usually do.  here is the proof.

london street in the over-exposed stylee

how to stay cool in hot weather

i first spotted these chaps walking behind some people in the park (who also seemed to be marching)
080512_350d_img_4942.jpg

this is just an everyday occurance in london

080512_350d_img_4946.jpg

these have got to be the most impractical hats and clothing ever.  especially in the 27 degree heat of yesterday

080512_350d_img_4948.jpg

the bloke in the middle looked particularly funny

080512_350d_img_4949.jpg

as you can see here

080512_350d_img_4950.jpg

i wondered if they were actually clowns in disguise


080512_350d_img_4954.jpg

and when they arrive at their destination they’ll whip their hats and capes off to reveal comedy clown clothes

080512_350d_img_4955.jpg

not that they weren’t amusing as they were

080512_350d_img_4958.jpg

and they got a great camera based reception as they arrived at the main road

yesterday was even more stunning that the day before

080212_350d_img_1846.jpg

a few other photograghers were out too.  i was glad i’d walked the route the day before else i wouldn’t have known where i was going for all the fog.  (not quite) a real pea souper.
