Sunny Southbank

I was out by the Southbank in London and took this picture. I liked the mans tattoo design so I quickly snapped him. He looks determined as if he is on a mission. I can’t remember if he was looking at someone in particular or whether he was just glancing around him as he strode along the path to the side of the riverbank.

As you can tell at the time we crossed paths we were just by Gabriels Wharf where there is a nice Gourmet Pizza and some other fine eating places.

This image was created using two separate images as the sky in the original image was less than inspiring. I used The Gimp to render the sky from the second image and give him a more dramatic backdrop.
