TWOS AND THREES - sharing the umbrella


You will have seen this couple before but I've had another go with them and put them with the reflection of St Paul's Cathedral on the pavement in the background.

SILHOUETTES











This is taken at the Tate Modern. My two friends exiting the weird storage rack, book and dinosaur like metal structure display. Oh OK I may as well let you see it. The Tate Modern is in an old Power Station building. No those two youngsters were not my friends.
