[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photo taken on Trafalgar Square/London.
The building behind with the pillars is the National Gallery.

This place is pretty well known for a large gathering of pigeons. Friendly to humans of course, also as seen on this photo.

They sit everywhere, even on your head - so watch out when you're there, but have some rice or seeds ready for some feeding time ;-)

Photo was taken in colour, but due to miscellaneous distractions all around, especially the construction building behind, decided to desaturate. Added a touch of colour to make it more attractive and lively.

Enjoy it.
Tom
