Barbican photowalk with James

James had a free morning, so we met up - cameras in hand - and walked in and about the Barbican. Once again we had some glorious late autumn sunshine.

I was approached by a local resident who wanted to show me three unique angles to shoot from. This being one, and the triangle of sky below another. Great views of the sort you might see on a postcard of the area.
