Ballet in Trafalgar square

I am in London for some work.

 

 

 

After the meeting, I went to Piccadilly circus, walked down the Reagent street to Waterloo place, where they have statues of Lord Lawrence, governor of Punjab in 1857, and of the better known Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon. There is an intriguing house there, near that statue, with a golden statue of Athena.

At the Trafalgar square I found a big crowd, sitting on the stairs watching a giant screen showing a live broadcast of Royal British Ballet company. It reminded me of going to watch films in Ravindra Rangshala in Delhi during the 1970s. However, my bum seems to have become softer or perhaps it is my age, because after a while of sitting on the stairs in Trafalgar square, my bones seemed to hurt from sitting on the hard stairs, making it difficult to sit. So finally I the beautiful ballet and resumed my walk.

British Modern Art Gallery behind Trafalgar square has lovely red colured boards announcing some exhibition - it is wonderful as a background to take pictures.

 

In the square, I saw a couple of British policemen (actually policepersons since one of them was a woman), I quickly clicked their picture - I could not resist it. I Love taking pictures of uniformed persons. Perhaps I need a psychological check-up to understand this attraction to uniforms.

 

Here are some pictures from this walk - you can click on them for a bigger view.
