23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Traffic Light in London

During a recent visit with friends in England I had my first day there free. Jet lagged and with little planned, I simply wandered the streets of London, taking in some neighborhoods off the beaten track. This is a photo I snagged after crossing the streets and turning around to check street signs, I was admittedly a bit lost. What I loved seeing was the mix of the iconic London double decker buses, a hackney (cab), and pedestrians in the afternoon sun.
