Notting Hill Carnival In London

I'm on fire!
Here are a few pictures I took recently at the London Notting Hill Carnival. A must see event for anybody in London during the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

To see more pictures from this event check out my external website.
Tiger or Pussy cat?

The Friendly Carnival

The Carnival has in the past had a bit of a bad reputation with crime, but in recent years has become a much safer place. This due mostly to the extra hard work put in by the organisers and Metropolitan police.
Carnival is a celebration for London's Afro Carribean community, but as this picture shows, everybody is Welcome to join in the fun! And fun is certainly the key word on this day..The whole thing is a great fun filled day come rain or shine.

Think of London, think of this?

When you think of London is this one of the images that come into your mind? Famous around the world as one of London's landmarks is Big Ben the clocktower of the Houses of Parliment. Big Ben is actually the name given to the large bell that rings out on the hour.

 Hi Vince, I love the composition of your photos. Now I must add the Notting Hill Carnival to my list of things to do before I die.
