12 May... London reflected

I've been wanting to take a shot like this for ages - I keep spotting interesting reflections on the sides of buses when they stop at traffic lights. When I left work this afternoon the sun was just right and I walked all round the roundabout on Trafalgar Square to find the right traffic lights with the right angle for the sun, then waited for the right type of bus to come along and stop right at the front of the lights...

Last year it was [ all in the eye ]

Love this one! Tres genius! :)

I tried to work out where you were standing from the reflections, but I started feeling giddy so gave up!!

It was well worth the wait

Always a great shot to take, but you have nailed it with two side by side and all the big names too! This shot would not really be suitable for a 'where in the world am I?' competition , alas!!

Hey, this is a new take for the 'Square'. The roundabout on Trafalgar Square sounds confusing, doesn't it ;-)

Fab. The 24 bus gets wonderful reflections - watch for it next time.
