About the photograph - After the market, Covent Garden
London is another place I've been lucky enough to visit a number of times over the years. One of its best know locations is Covent Garden and I've hung out there drinking a coffee and watching the world go by on many occasions.
On this occasion I'd already stopped off at Covent Garden earlier in the day while out exploring London and was on my way back. Having seen this scene in the afternoon with its chaos of shoppers and traders, and sightseers and noise, I was simply struck by the quiet and the absence of people. I think for the first time I could really see the attractive greco-roman described architecture which is pretty much unchanged since it opened in 1830, without being distracted by the crowd around me.
