Harrods is a department store located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, London, England. The Harrods brand also applies to other enterprises undertaken by the Harrods group of companies including Harrods Bank, Harrods Estates, Harrods Aviation and Air Harrods.
The store occupies a 4.5-acre site and has over one million square feet of selling space in over 330 departments. This makes Harrods one of the largest department stores in the world together with Macy’s New York (the UK’s second-biggest shop, Oxford Street’s Selfridges is a little over half the size with 540,000-square-foot of selling space).
The Harrods motto is Omnia Omnibus Ubique —- All Things for All People, Everywhere. Several of its departments, including the seasonal Christmas department and the Food Hall are world famous.

I can no longer recall why I decided to shoot the swans at 16mm with the lens close to the water . . . it looked like fun at the time!
From WikiPedia: The Round Pond is a pond in Kensington Gardens, London, in front of Kensington Palace. It is, however, not at all round, but more like a square with protuberances at the corners.

(The longer days were killing me at this point and I made lots of mistakes and gaffs on day 159).
Normally, I would like to get close to the guy on the bench but he was a homeless guy wandering around the platform and feeding off the leftovers left by the commuters and I wasn’t sure if I ought to photograph this.

A picture of an empty Hammersmith Bridge on 02 February 2008.
I am a bit disappointed on how the colours turned out and will probably reprocess it again. The red building looked quite vivid against the snow and was the reason I took the picture.

It rained all day on 03 June and it wasn’t possible to keep the lens dry but I love the rain reflected through the lens on this image anyway!
