Thanks For Sharing
I enjoyed your photos, but even more, I enjoyed your slightly cynical narration of the photos. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on photo of the week.

"Hi Indy"
Congrats on being "photo of the week," what a sight! We were also in London back in June '03 & published an article on Trafalgar Square, but the people back then weren't taking a dip in that beautiful fountain. I guess June is not as hot as Aug. in the U.K. Cheers!
