Now we know why the bench always looks so inviting! I had a very short lunch break today and had to almost run down to get a minute here, but I arrived just as the guys were chucking water all over the bench. They got it out of the fountains in the square. I sometimes wonder if I should always come here seeing as though London is pretty massive and infinitely full of photo ops but actually the thirty minute round walk from walk to Trafalgar square is always worthwhile and this is certainly a bench shot that differs from the others!
And who says council workers don't graft :-)... This would make a good stop animation film of a day in the life of a bench if you could set up a camera to take a pic every few seconds over the course of a day
I like the perspective and the runs of water, it gives the photo a lot of depth.
