    Quirky Pics from London *Warning: one is a little naughty!*

    Hi all .. I popped into London this afternoon to get some urban art pictures (which I got). However, I kept coming across the most quirky things ....

    The first is a performance artist, dressed entirely in blue, with blue make-up .. I call it "singing the blues" (corny huh? ) Actually he was a very gifted classical player.

    I came across the second on the little beach that runs along the Thames - I have NO idea what it means!

    The third is the naughty one ... the big artwork is on the side of London's major museum of modern art. Just as I was looking at it, this guy came along and took a picture of it's you-know-what! Good thing I had my camera handy

    Cheers
    Mike

    I guess what they say about big feet is not always true...

    (Sorry couldn't resist)
    Please ask before editing my photos, I'll say yes



    I like to take the pictures...

    Ahhhhhh - that last one is great! The photographer makes it. Without the photographer it would be amusing. But with the photographer, it's laugh out loud hilarious!

    The last pic is hysterical! Great timing with the shot and the photog.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Thanks guys I thought that last one would get you! I am just wondering whether or not to enter it into club competitions, and how the judge would react to it

    frog - thanks for googling it .. that seems to be the same outfit. There were a couple of guys messing with the sand, but they hadn't done any sculptures at the time I was passing.

    Cheers

    Love the blue guy, I'm still amazed how well the color blue shows up in photographs.

    As for the third picture, I wonder what her shot looked like-she's way close up!
