I didn't have much time to wander around in London so I chose to walk around in Hyde Park. I enjoyed a lot of the sights but, given that my eye saw only clichéd, banal scenes (attractive as they were) I just kept wandering around. Near the opposite side of the park I noticed some nice light on the buildings beyond the park and a young woman reading a book under a tree. That was the shot I wanted. Not earth shattering but my idea of romantic.

As usual, here's a larger version:

Well done Mike! I detest cities, and definitely can't stand London, but with this image you have made it appear very attractive with your choice of perspective and content.

Looks like a lovely place for a cityscape-hopefully there are more green places like this in London.
