Damn Alexander, every time I see one of your images ... it makes me want to move to London. But then I realize it's not the place it's the photog. How long did you have to wait for the bubbles to get where you needed them to be?

Great relaxed composition and color scape.

I took probably 10 or 12 shots. But the main hindrance was the pedestrians, it was a busy place. It is Trafalgar Square, behind him is National Gallery. Here is a shot from the same place:
