Sky Over Shaftesbury Avenue

The heart of London's West End theatre district may be Piccadily Circus or Leicester Square, but Shaftesbury Avenue is really its main artery, with no less than four theatres visible in this picture –The Queens, The Gielgud, The Apollo and The Lyric. But it is the sky that obviously plays a more prominent role in this picture –unusually vibrant for London with masses of gold filling the evening air. The picture leaves me with a warm feeling, a longing for those rare summer evenings when the sun seems reluctant to go down, and the air is filled with the excitement of the season.
