Hyde Park, December 2014

At the end of 2014, we headed back to London (after our spring semester there) and stayed at a strange little AirBnB in Brixton. While there, we went to Hyde Park to the extravaganza that passes for a Christmas market on steroids in the UK. It was filled with places to eat (lots of German sausages and American hamburgers) and things to buy (including a young woman in a headscarf selling Christmas ornaments!). But the big draw was the carnival rides. I took a few shots to try to capture the motion of the rides.

It is hard to imagine the day of yore when no one wore a mask and we could crowd together.

It all seemed perfectly normal then and so wonderfully exotic and more than a little scary now.
