This was taken earlier this month in Hyde Park, Central London.....just as the sun was setting. I was from the toilet, saw this and I had to capture it. One of my favourite pictures as an amateur photographer. I didn't need to touch it up as it was a perfect first time shot.
For the sake of those on log on to this blog....I have now turned Pro on Flickr and that is where my pictures will now be featured. I will be updating this blog as I put new pictures up. So far the following sets have been added since I posted pictures up in here:

Something came up...hence the delay in putting up the pics. Anyway, the day was 'perfect' weatherwise, but not for the runners as running 26 and a bit miles under the sun is not a favourable weather condition to run in as most found out. I too was having dizzy spells as I stood by the barriers to bring you these pictures. It was a hot day!
Congratulations to all who took part......you are truly inspirational.
Now, the pics.....ENJOY!
