Trafalgar Square

This image was taken in Trafalgar Square in London on a visit there in December 2009. I was waiting outside the National Gallery for some of my friends and i stared taking pictures. it was quite early in the morning as you can see from the image with the sun being quite low in the sky. There weren't very many people around, as i guess it was too early for most people, there was a thin mist/low fog over the area, all these elements clubbed together to give the square a mysterious feel. I think i captured this feeling well, the image looks quite spooky as though there is something going on that you're not quite sure about. The bulidings are all plunged into darkness as the sun lights up specific areas and throws shadows around in strange ways. The direction that the sun is coming from and also the direction of the shadows makes the image look quite confusing as it looks as though it is different times of the day from the different areas of the images.
