London in the rain has a melancholy beauty

London in December, the rain falls down in the misty light, the streets are a mirror, we walk and get wet.

I like the positioning of the bus, as planned I suspect, halfway between that monstrosity on the left and edge of frame. The photo wouldn't work without it:)

Are you suggesting that I waited for the bus to get to the right spot? Guilty m'lud! Yeah, the new buildings are shit and buried beneath them is the Elizabethan Rose Theatre. The developers tried to concrete over the remains that were excavated but they are now protected.

@malcolm_tremain oh yes, I also wouldn't mind betting that you lined up the foreground arch so that the two in the background bridge fit perfectly into it:)

@charliedontsurf Strangely enough...no. I think I would put that down to serendipity. Sometimes these things just happen. This was actually a quick shot when I saw the bus which I should have placed between the two lamps but I just missed it, the rest just sorted itself out :)
