Fingers Up: Punk Rockers and the House of Parliament by

My submission for the letter F in Alphabet Soup Group.

I spoted these wonderful people just across the road from Big Ben and asked if I could take their photo, they asked for money first and I gave them all the small change I could muster £1.20 and they posed quite happily. Love their expressions, colourful clothes and individual style.

Camera: Nikon D700, Lense 24-120mm.

    Great Don. It provides a nice contrast with the more sombre Houses of Parliament but also gives a lot of emphasis to the “Ancient and Modern” I’m sorry to hear you only had One pound 20 with you though – would you like us all to take up a collection?? LOL All the best, Peter

  • Hi Peter, that’s very generous of you:0 I thought you’d want to do that, but I’m OK for the moment thanks. The Punks are very colourful people and were really nice about posing really. Don.

    Did it take you back to the days when you had multi coloured hair sticking up like that

  • Ha Ha, I wanted to have sticky-up hair like that Tony, but they wouldn’t let me when I was serving in the RN. However, one young lad was brave enough to challenge the system and won the right to have his safety pin in his face when on shore leave:-) LOL.
