Under and over

It's more than two years since I took the last batch of photos of pedestrians reflected in the wide paved expanse of Trafalgar Square. This only works when the surface is very wet and shiny, and the light also needs to be right - low, but enough of it. On the previous three occasions it was raining hard. This time I arrived just as the rain stopped, so it was a less damp and uncomfortable experience. Perhaps that accounts for the somewhat looser style. These new ones are more varied and some of them more impressionistic. This is a small selection, with loads more here.

Oh my, these are fabulous. What a huge series. These seem more colourful than the earlier series. I was transported to Trafalgar Square again, though it wasn't raining then. You are the master of reflections, brava!
