    Some London Christmas lights

    Nothing special here, but a few from a trip up to London last weekend. I was up with MrsR so didn't drag my tripod along, so all handheld (albeit the Trafalgar Square shot was taken with the camera resting on a wall).

    The funfair in Leicester Square:

          Tiger, Bill and Tom, thanks for stopping by. Yes, the trees were a bit of a challenge. In the end I thought the best I could do was to line them up fairly evenly against the wheel.

                You did well to make a picture out of the Leicester Square funfair, it seemed a messy shot but your angles really make it work.

                      I think you did well there Alex - I favour the fountain as top shot.

                          John, Peter, thanks for your comments; the fountain is the one that I am happiest with.
