[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here's a London taxi running on alternative fuel, brain powered! I hope the people inside are very smart or it isn't going to get anywhere very fast. You don't believe it? Well, that's what's painted on its side doors. Seen from the bus my second day in London. The formerly black London taxis are very colorful now.

The photojournalist (my other photographic personna) has escaped from Treklens to put an appearence in here with this photo; the artiste is pouting and saying, "Wait unti tomorrow! I'll be back!"

The artiste just noticed that the photojournalist can't see straight and has thrown her out, back to Trekearth, to do better, straighter. I do like this image, so I hope they get the problem straightened out between them.

ISO 400, focal length 39.00 mm, reflection removed as much as possible from the bus window, framed.

'Ello, missus! Where's everyone gorn? Strikalite, Guvnor!
Very 'correct' London street scene. Very orderly, very historic, very few pedestrians, a few UJ's in the b/g, some Latin inscriptions, roughly translated = "In the tenth year, King Edward 7th gave Queen Victoria a free mudbath" or something very similar. I see a blue taxi-cab and a paler blue one. I have seen maroon ones and even yellow ones. London is going mad!
Critically, you don't tell us exactly where this is. Bet you don't know!

Hi Lois, this is really a wonderful shot- I like the majestic looking arches and the clean and orderly streets- very sharp and colorful with the cab and the stop lights- very nice work!

Best wishes,
Steve
