Trafalgar Rectangle, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

Sorry, I meant Trafalgar Square ;-)Ok, nevermind.
Feet... Thousands and thousands of them, from the whole world. Just imagine: how many steps can a tourist make during 9 hours of daily passionate sightseeing? And in a week? I've no idea, but wait,my own feet just stated that definitely too much.
But, my dear feet, have a look(frog perspective should suffice). Why should I use the Tube and be forced to practice infamous Mind-The-Gap-ism, if Big Ben ist so close? And Westminster Abbey ist just several meters away. It's too hot to stay outside? Let's visit National Gallery or Portrait Gallery just around the corner. Wanna hear some music? There are organ concerts at St.Martin-In-The_Fields, just across the street.
I don't know whose feet are posing here. I've no idea if their owner was a tourist. But I'd like to wish him and all of you many happy steps in right direction.

Hi Johanna,

A very funny and original shot, hopefully Big Ben doesn't mind the focus isn't on it this time:)) Those feet must have done miles and miles round that famous square, so they deserve a modicum of attention as well. :) Thanks for a light-spirited shot and have a great weekend,

Marina

Hello Joanna,
I like it. :-) I like the humor, and alternative POV. We can still get a glimpse of Big Ben in the distance, but the focus is definitely on the feet. These resting feet must have walked a lot, and they present an interesting foreground for this colorful shot.

Hello Joanna,
I didn't see this picture until you made me aware of its presence, but I like it very much. It's funny and definitely an original way of describing a tourist's hard life. (Even kind of creepy, one might think public hangings are back). The title is well found too, and the note is well written.
You asked me about Ukraine. Well I only saw Kiev and Odessa and some countryside, but both cities were marvellous, really impressive and very photogenique, not least the street-life which interests me the most. I was also surprised by the many good restaurants in both cities. Then I went to Moldova which was quite a different story...
Kind regards,
Gert

Witaj,

Zabawne zdjecie i fajna notka. O zwiedzaniu to ja moge cos powiedzieć, Lisa Delpeoples nazywa mnie Signora Itchy Feet nie bez powodu chyba. W każdym razie nigdy nie korzystam z tego czerwonego pojazdu do zwiedzania, bo dla mnie liczy sie to co przejde.
Co bym wybrała z tych wielu mozliwości? Wszystko kuszące, może Gallery i St. Martin.

Pozdrawiam M.
