Random pictures around London

A number of the odd things sold at the Portobello Rd Market. Need deer antlers, china or fur coats? Well... you know where to go.



This picture below was my favorite London moment. Around town are public pianos with signs on them saying "Play me, I'm yours." And people sit down for a minute or an hour and play whatever they want. These kids and I had just been to see Midsummer Night's Dream at the Shakespeare theatre and one sat down and started into that great piano solo at the beginning of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." The others ran up, got on the piano and started belting out the song until they got about 3 lines in and couldn't remember the lyrics. Funny and great street moment.

This one's for Claudia... I didn't see any Duchesses though.
The experimental art "Fourth Plinth Project" in Trafalgar Square. An artist requested that over 2,000 people spend an hour apiece up on this platform doing whatever they want to do. They can pose or address the crowd, do something mundane or extreme. This guy had a book called "Lord Lucan Plinth" and his sign said "Here's Lucan at you kid." Point? hard to know...
