London in 2016
Every year or two I have the chance to visit magnificent London. Some pictures are following from my visit in March 2016.

As it turned out, the day I was in London on the 10th of November was the day before Remembrance Day, and Westminster was in complete preparations for the big event. Remembrance Day evolved out of the mourning for the death of World War I and became a kind of Veterans Day with many military parades and symbolism. Interestingly, the day before, there were a lot of veterans in White Hall, and I had the chance to photograph some of them.

Being on a conference trip in London the past weekend, I had little spare time to enjoy the city alone. So there was just one Sunday afternoon to dive into the urban jungle of the British capital. Equipped with my camera, I wandered around Westminster, Trafalgar, up to Paddington, where I had to catch my train. So, the picture reflects the time constraints I had. There was no time to adjust and to wait for the perfect moment. I just captured the street life as it happened around me.
