You can photograph Nelson's column on every visit you make to Trafalgar Square and get different pictures. Night and day, sun and rain, summer and winter, crowded, and deserted. What do we see here?
Glamour Or Realism? Good or bad?
I took this picture walking away from Trafalgar Square, Unfortunately, the glamour of the column was spoiled by a plebian, workmanlike lorry. (Lorry is what we call it in England, Americans say say truck. However, the vehicle adds realism. It's different from my usual pictures of Trafalgar Square with statues and crowds of tourists.
Spy the Season
Look closely, making the picture larger. Be a picture detective. You know the season because you can see the leaves on the spring into summer trees in April.
Britain and England
It is Britain. England. You can tell by the traffic lights, the red phone box.
London
It is London. You can tell by the rack of bikes for hire. The double yellow painted lines on the edge of the pavement. The fancy decoration on the lamp post base on the right of the picture.
It is 21st century, the tourist waring blue jeans and white trainers and a hooded jacket. It is a picture of its time. Totally different from the same scene ten years earlier, ten years later, and in the nineteen forties.
