Photo Essay: An evening walk around London’s West End.

London,West End

Luca and I went to see Avatar. Not very impressed by the movie, I tell you. Anyway, then we decided to amble around the west end before heading off home for a bite to eat.

Some very happy bananas hanging around.

Wow, they really want to stand out, no?

A crowd at Covent Garden watching a show.

The dog was obviously more interested in smells rather than shows.

Unlike Luca who was quite interested in the chocolate balls :)

Dripping red lights…

For sale books in front of a book seller on Charing Cross Road.

And no ball games please.

These are cloth stickers meant to be stuck on camouflage jackets as the gentleman is checking out. I like the one above his head which says, My Boobs have a mind of their own. I know!!!

London,West End

Down this road is the Mela restaurant, its just brilliant. The road looks much better during summer, I promise :)

Now why would you even put up something like this? And then damn graffiti takes over it.

Great for readers and wankers, I presume?

Good Lord, somebody needs to get their eyes fixed for colour saturation.

One of the skyscrapers viewed through some netting.

I love locating signs like this. I had spotted one on top of Finchley Road Tube Station some months back and here’s one above Tottenham Court Road. Old forgotten signs.

An auction happening. Lovely girl, very nicely made up. Not sure how much action she was getting.

London,West End

Looks like a robot, lol, street cleaning going on.

Waterstone’s. A book seller. Looks so warm and cosy, inviting you in from the cold, dark, dank, wet, winter night.

The BT Tower.

London,West End

Its just a rush rush rush all the time on Oxford Street.

London has the damnest names for some of its roads. Here’s Adam and Eve Court and few days back I noticed a Blue Ball Court. No connection (or there might be a subliminal one somewhere, dont know).

London,West End

The lights have started to show on the tops of the buildings as evening falls.

London,West End

You can see the reflection of the darkening sky..

London,West End

Something that got Luca quite interested. Fratelli means brothers.

London,West End

Another street cleaner. Damn machines are taking over the world.

London,West End

Some very sad regimented trees over some regimented benches, cycle stands and street lights.

London,West End

The Regent Street lights look like blankets of lights :), And the moon is out!!!

London,West End

Another wonderful street straight out of Arabian Nights.

London,West End

Walking up the street makes you feel as if you are in a magical world.

London,West End

Most of the people were smiling away.

London,West End

Or in some cases, grinning away.

Looks like bright drops of rain
