Photos of note - London

medium_aftermath2.jpegSpeaking of the London attacks, here's some striking images from Mike Golden - a London photographer.  Here's what he says about these images (click on image to enlarge):

Aftermath.

Two contrasting images that depict the unusual end of a terrible day, the worst terrorist medium_aftermath.jpegattack in the UK and largest loss of life since the second world war. As I write this more than 50 are confirmed dead and that figure will definitely rise as the conditions underground where three of the four bombs were detonated are described as "Torturous".

These images depict two of the busiest roads in the city of London at rush hour.

The first image depicts an endless stream of thousands of workers trying to make their way home without any of London's transport system. No Tube, no buses and limited overground rail services. Me, I walked for an hour and half all the way home, past endless queues of static cars.

The second image is Commercial St. deserted. I have never seen it this way before at any time of day or night. Much of the city of London looked like this, like an unrealistic scene from a movie.
