Bayswater Bustle

Sunset outside the Bayswater tube station during rush hour... I was very happy to get a sun flare through the window of an iconic London red bus. :) Logistics of room, tube riding, packing and navigation managed, so we are looking forward to some exploring.

Some "props" to our UK friends... we met SO many friendly people today, who were happy to point us in the right direction or explain how the tube ticketing system works. Special applause to a charming and witty customs officer, who just might be a frustrated actor in another life. ;)

Thanks, as always, for taking time to stop by.

What a neat picture so much going on, reminds me of how my mind jumps from subject to subject.

Super shot, composition

My first thought was 'what perfect timing with the shutter button to catch that sunburst through the window'. The 'paint job' on the foreground car is an interesting one.

The flare is a good sign that more wonderful sights and photos await! Rosie, you're not in Dallas anymore!

[Clare Gadsby]

Gosh. A charming customs officer? I think you struck lucky there and am very glad for you :) What a great shot to start off in London. Hope you get some sleep tonight ;)

That sun flare is a perfect welcome to London, especially given its placement on the iconic bus!

[Ukandie!]

Brings tears to my eyes...I am ovedue a trip home!

Great shot! I've been by that corner--a decade or so ago! I admit that after I admired the sunflare, I did a double-take at the London cab "wrapped up" in advertising. That seems so "off"--My memories from the 4 years I lived in London in the late 1980s and two other visits in the '90s and '00s are of the shiny black taxis. A terrific shot and I'm so glad that you shared it. A Follow and a Fave!
