Silence

Taken on the streets of London during a very busy hour of the day, yet the picture gives the viewer the impression of an evacuated city - emptiness. As if the only thing you can hear is the sound of a rattling tin-can bobbling along the ground by a continuous rush of wind, and the swift, ever-changing, movement of the clouds as a symbol of an inevitable storm brewing.  And though you know you're alone, the expectation of a towing bell from the clock tower, is never heard, but the chime is created in the patiently waiting mind as a substitute. Then, the question beckons... "Where is everybody?"
