I was doing the washing up when I looked up to see this fella on his was across the kitchen windows. All I had to hand was my E-P3 with the Panny 20mm mounted. I kind of like the result even though the edges of the snail blur away.

Wandering down the south bank between the showers
So, it feels like we might dissolve if its rains anymore in the UK. In a rare moment absent moisture falling from the sky I went for a walk along the South Bank. It’s always random there, but a lot of fun as well. Just hold on to your wallet…
A Social Exchange
I decided to wander down to the Royal Exchange today, but to focus on the people instead of the buildings. After hundreds of years, even if it’s no longer a commodities exchange, its still a meeting place and a place business gets done…
Surf in the City

City of London Festival – Sardana Dance
On my way back and forth to the post office near where I work I had noticed some great (free) performances by european musicians in Broadgate circle this week. I skulked past with my E-M5 today to take some photos of Sardana Dance, a Catalonian cobla (wind ensemble) formed by eleven instruments.
The pianist
This chap was playing at a piano on the street near where I work. I assumed he was part of the festival which is on in the City at the minute, but to my amazement after playing he stood up and wandered back into the nearby bank building… Taken with my X100
Anyone for Tennis?
Some photos from my trip to Wimbledon yesterday. You may recognise some of the players. A great day out with only a little rain… Taken with my E-M5, 7-14mm and 75-300mm
