Shot Alive

While walking in London I took some digital video clips of the colourful street life. These are just a few of the pictures (vidcaps) of people seen there that I put on flickr. Click the title above for more.

The first thing that you see is lots of people taking pictures. :-)

Also there are many performers. In our walk there were three different mimes dressed in white. It wasn't obvious that they had any connection with each other as they were well spread out. They put on a good show.

These were either Kiwis or Aussies putting on a performance with huge imaginary animals with people inside, but the head was controlled by the guy with the leash. The movements were very realistic, if that can be said about an imaginary creature.

You see many colourful characters, some just out for a stroll, some to sell their wares or provide music in hope of some coins in the hat. The wire sculptures were a treat for me, as I have been known to doodle with the wire wraps off sparkling grape juice.

The pub crowds overflow onto the street. There are no seats there, so you have to make do.

Surely London is the most cosmopolitan city in the world. On the whole the different groups fit in very well together and the atmosphere is pleasant. All have come here for similar reasons.
