It was just a flying visit, but there....
|
was pleanty to look out for.
|
Here they come.
|
The Tibetans were in town.....
|
an not un-naturally, they weren't happy.
|
Gathered in Trafalgar Square
|
they were just in time
|
for a little reminder of the Himalayas.
|
It put a damper on things
|
and pretty soon
|
everyone was wandering away.
|
For someone my age, there was a touch of
|
Deja Vu about the crowd.
|
If they had only waited 10 minutes.
|
but distraction had set in
|
and there were places to be, and parties to arrange.
|
The Chinese response was par for the course.
|
Trafalgar Square returned to normal
|
and so did the weather.
|
I strolled back through 'arty' St James
|
admired the hair raising prices of shirts in Jermyn Street
|
The Tat of Regents Street
|
the studied style of Carnaby street
|
and some of Soho's seedier parts
|
then popped in to see the Emperor.
|
There were people
|
lookng for
|
him everywhere.
|
I did find an army,. but it was much smaller than expected, and seemed to have been crafted by the wrong end of a horse.
|
Prehaps Harry Potter had something to do with it!!!
|
 |
love these powerful shots

Banksy again? Lovely! (I'm looking through your pictures backwards, that's why the un-chronological order of comments)
