A few days in London

Whilst taking some photos along London Wall, including the above, the City of London police stopped and questioned me as to what I was doing and why I was doing it. I also had to show them all the photos I had taken.
They were concerned about the threat of terrorism.
Silly me, taking photos in London, what was I thinking.
