Week 27 — Changing of the Guard — Journal

A couple of weeks ago I met up with a friend at Victoria station and went exploring London for the morning, hitting a few of the tourist sites around Buckingham Palace.

We were halfway through a coffee in St James's Park when we heard noises behind us — realising it was the Changing of the Guard, we ran over to get a good view before the crowds took all the close spots.

It was a great spectacle, and one I had been meaning to catch for a while but was always too busy or at the wrong time. See more on the Flickr album, Changing of the Guard. Shot with a Canon 600D with 24–105mm.
