From our recent visit to Southbank… One of the advantages of winter: the sun sets so early that there are still a lot of activities going on, often in low and dramatic light. We were attracted by the long shadows cast by passers-by. I have flipped the picture 180 degrees for a much more dramatic focus on the shadows.
Dad was in town for a visit recently during my break from work. We made a trip down to Southbank to view the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011 exhibition before taking a walk along the riverside. The wintry weather meant that there were limitations to photography. Nevertheless, we did manage to capture some interesting candid pictures.
Do a search on “Galaries Lafayette Dome” on Flickr and you will notice how often this landmark is photographed by visitors to Paris. Similarly, I was attracted to the architectural patterns of the dome and had to take home my own photo of the landmark.
