Lets Do Lunch ! by phil_howcroft

Lets Do Lunch !

That's what is says on the blackboard outside the pub / bar.

Sunday was such a bad day (rained and rained), I've had to post a Saturday picture.

This was shot in London, just prior to us going to see the Wizard of Oz

"Street photography in colour"

I don't know if it is a bit too similar to Thursdays 'Top Tub' launderette image.........

............ but it I like it for the splashes of colours on the passers by, the yellow on the wall and the green bush.

..let's do sychronised walking..
8.50 fer chish 'n' fips - bloody 'ell.

Ha ha you are so funny - this is to my mind the ideal companion shot to Top Tub People and I agree the splishes of colour are just great vs the b&w boozy top tubbers I especially like the subtle touch of those worn yellow marks on the pavement edges - a masterstroke! And the two yellow H signs - there are so may interesting patterns in this shot its a cracker!

What sort of dancing do you think ....mood dancing ? Fish & Chips quite pricey in the south then ! Great photo & you at your best picking out a bit of street life !!

8.50 for fish n chips? Lets not and say we did.
Good choice to use colour here, works really well. Another great street shot from you Phil.

@happypat Thanks Pat, I do like street photography, it is social history in the making...in a few years we will look back and say £8-50 for fish and chips...what a bargain !!!

@kerristephens thanks KErri for your continued support

@jenrobcarr the wizard of Oz was great thanks, we didn't eat in this back street pub though !!!
June 15th, 2011  
@sparkle thanks Juliette, we didn't go to that pub ----- 3am finishes !!!!

@sleepdozer57 aye lad £8-50 for fish and chips is a tad expensive....and I bet they don't taste like yorkshire cod either !!!

@whippeteer thanks Frances, I did think about doing a 'tube station shoot' but central London is always so damn busy to us simple midland and northern folks !!!!
June 15th, 2011  
Yes, the yellow is so vivid, I thought at first it was selective coloring! I love the street scenes you do Phil. There is an immediacy that makes me feel I am right there with you.
June 15th, 2011  
Ah, I don't miss London prices .. and London fish & chips never measured up to Northern ones! I like the mid-stride 'action' shot you've captured here :o)
June 15th, 2011  
I like this shot and they are open to 3 am, my kind of place!

@sarahhorsfall You need to find a Greek run chippy - they are the business even in London but never cheap...
June 16th, 2011  
@phil_howcroft I quite agree it wears me out just thinking about it! I was with a pal from Chester last night over at Grays Inn Road, and we were laughing at the way we crossed the road like a pair of frightened rabbits - so very northern! She went to see Jon Snow do the broadcast of Thazzer's death announcement the old witch is about to croak and they have to do it in advance!

@sarahhorsfall thanks Sarah, glad u like the slice of london life ...even if you don't like the prices

@seattle Constance, you are a 3am party person...wow...I am impressed ...I don't think I've seen 3am in many a year !!!
June 17th, 2011  
@phil_howcroft Just a year ago since I moved up from London. Definitely elements of living there that I miss (and some I don't!!)
