    Two strangers strike a conversation in St. James' Park before the park's beautiful lake.: by taletellerinlondon, Views[1251]
         		 Not everyone is ready to give up on summer pastimes: by sam_louiseb, Views[230]
         		 This image is the epitome of what I am trying to convey. These small statues are dotted along the entire priory at no particular intervals. This one for example was above an ordinary doorway. People are able to just stop for a moment and enjoy the beauty.: by jude, Views[239]
         		 This beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary is placed in the priory grounds. Although she is dirty and has bugs crawling on her, an unknown person decided to place a solitary rose in her hand. : by jude, Views[844]
         		 Anyone is welcome to come and light a candle. This may be in the memory of someone who is gone or just for the beauty of the flickering light. These candles are also a form of income for the friars; a candle can be bought for a small price.: by jude, Views[448]
     
    This image may be too ‘traditional’ for some but I think it portrays the majestic nature of the priory. The priory building, although some parts have been restored, has been around since 1242 and it takes my breath away when you think that so many thousands of people have walked through these arches and worshipped to the same god as some do today.: by jude, Views[243]
         		 For some businesses there is still a living to be made outside the summer season: by sam_louiseb, Views[249]
         		 For now, until next summer, the beach is returned to the locals as a place for solitude and reflection: by sam_louiseb, Views[227]
         		 In time the footprints of the summer crowds will disappear: by sam_louiseb, Views[274]
         		 Beached; at midday a normally empty harbour is witness to the oncoming winter: by sam_louiseb, Views[287]
     
    This has been one of many silly times just mucking around with the kids, being silly helped me enjoy youth and revive my childhood. : by bphotography, Views[530]
         		 I grew very close to the boys, they are so young 10-11 years old and living away from home for most of the year, seeing us more than their own parents. Being depended on in that way meant I had to grow up quickly.: by bphotography, Views[1326]
         		 Fading out of their lives to be replaced by someone else is sad for me and something they have to deal with on a regular basis as boarders, matrons come and go every year. I will miss them as these kids have affected my life profoundly but great memories remain and always will.: by bphotography, Views[532]
         		 It's not all fun and games, sometimes it is frustrating having to think about 21 other people constantly. But shining through those frustrations are all the good times, so you just have to keep a smile on your face.: by bphotography, Views[436]

         		 Venturing Across the Pond: I will never forget the day I stumbled upon St. James Park in London while it was pouring rain. Luckily, I had my umbrella because of my knowledge of London weather; however, it was the first time since I had arrived that it was absolutely pouring rain, and I just happened to be in the middle of a large and open park. However, it was one of my favorite moments of the trip. I suppose it was because of the loud noise of the rain combined with the ironic quietness that came with it. There was no one else in the entire park; I had the beautiful area to myself, if you don't count the swans and pelicans, that is. I wandered aimlessly through the vicinity, and when I walked up one hill, I found myself on the grounds of Buckingham Palace for the first time. The rain then let up, and the most beautiful sunset appeared. This photograph is standing in front of Buckingham Palace looking over the pond that lies in the park. It was a very inspiring and personal moment which I will never forget.: by mmsmith4, Views[527]
     
    Street Performances: This man who could perform many tricks, including fitting his body through a tennis racket, became a familiar face during my three months in London. I remember seeing him for the first time during my initial week in London. Being from Georgia, I was not used to stumbling upon street performers on a daily basis, and I was absolutely stunned. I felt like there was a free circus act everywhere I walked, and I could not get enough. I watched his entire act and was mesmerized. A few weeks later, I saw him performing again in a different location. He stuck out quite easily because you would hear a loud voice in the midst of a large crowd of people. I did not know it at the time, but I would run across his act so many times that I felt as though I personally knew him. I was familiar with what lines he would say and which tricks he would perform. When he pulled out the tennis racket and the crowd cheered in excitement, I simply watched in amusement. His act served as a sign of the transition that was taking place inside of me; I began as a newcomer not only to London, but to Europe itself, and ended up as a regular to his act and very accustomed to seeing his face. In a sense, his ongoing performances made me feel more at home.: by mmsmith4, Views[551]
         		 The Late Charlie Chapman: The Charlie Chapman character in this photograph exemplifies the old-fashioned and traditional qualities which are emitted throughout the entirety of London. The street performer looking directly at my camera and standing with Big Ben and Parliament in the background makes for a very simple and wholesome depiction of this historical city.: by mmsmith4, Views[961]
         		 Tea Time: Two of my friends and I ventured to a traditional and classy
         		 Iconic London Town: This was taken during one of our many picnics we had in the famous and mesmerizing English parks. We had just finished our meal and were lying in the grass taking in the beautiful day. I was experimenting with my camera settings and left the park with this photograph. What I enjoy about this image is the iconic red telephone booth in front of the traditional black cab. It sums up some of the most famous representations of this eye-opening city.: by mmsmith4, Views[685]
