Welcome to '5 in 5' where on the 5th of
each month I post 5 photos that I have
taken in 5 minutes.
By the time you read this I will be in Birmingham on a print and book art workshop with my blog friend Bernice. So while I was in London last week I took photos for this months '5 in 5' because sometimes you need to plan ahead. As it happens I was in London to meet another friend who I met on line. On another book making course. But before I meet Bernice I am sneaking in a trip to Stonehenge and meeting Eileen while I am there. Another blog friend. Isn't the internet wonderful!
But back to London. As I walked along the South Bank there was so much to see, so I grabbed my camera and set my alarm. These photos were all taken within a few paces and I even managed a photo for my Summertime Scavenger Hunt. So let's get started:
I loved this hand on the side of a building. I have ideas of ways I can use this in art journaling...
Not two people but four wearing the same clothes or uniform. This photo completes my Summertime Scavenger Hunt. Yay!
I tried to sneak photos of two policeman when I was in London the week before, but decided I could get arrested on suspicion so gave up that idea!
A coffee bar. I love quirky vehicles. This might make an interesting campervan. Just a thought....
By now I was looking for red things because without planning I seemed had a theme going on!
Not so much red but it is there for the looking.
And that was my brief encounter. Of course I saw lots of other interesting things, including a man creating sand art. The tide was fast approaching and he just completed it before the water started to wash it away. I admire people who can spend hours creating transient art.
Thank you for popping by, your company and comments are always appreciated and special thanks to Maggie, Joy, Eileen, Helena, Melanie and Barbara, who took part last month.
