Notting Hill Carnival || 2012 London Trip

I wasn't particularly inspired that day, and I was actually more concerned with the growing pain in my back than anything else, so I wasn't gonna post any pictures that I wasn't really satisfied with, but hey, it's Notting Hill Carnival !
I heard about it so many time before, and I probably won't attend it again anytime soon,
so I guess it deserves a few pics anyway...

Night Bus Ride || 2012 London Trip

On our way back home that night, in the upper front seats of these famous double deck busses,
I started playing around with the camera, trying to mix up the reflections of us, inside the bus with the street view as seen through the (dirty) windshield, all this with a slow shutter speed ...
It came out pretty interesting I think, but I'll have to do it again someday

with better preparation and equipement (including my DSLR and a tripod).

Anyway I'm still pretty happy with the result :)

The Water Poet || 2012 London Trip

A few minutes earlier I saw a first board that I should have taken a picture of which said :

"If you're the kind of people to read boards, you should come see us (...)".

I really liked the way they were promoting the pub, so when I saw this other one,

I decided I had to check it out by myself !! Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to go in and get a meal or a drink, but this will definitely be on my todo list for my next trip to London !

Chillin @ Spital Square || 2012 London Trip

Everything felt so right, peaceful this morning.

People (including me) having breakfast while enjoying the nice weather outside, some others stopping by to play some ping pong (yes, the rackets and balls are available freely with the table)

or enjoying a quick break from work or a bike ride ... Today seems like a good day.
