Saint Patrick's Day Parade.St Martin-in-the-Fields.London.Mar15

'Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.'

(Nathaniel Hawthorne)

 

The Sunday closest to 17 March, as every year, London hosts Saint Patrick's Day. The area around Trafalgar Square becomes emerald, white and amber to celebrate everything Irish. The rain, far from stopping the celebrations, completes the atmosphere this time.

 

Around the main Parade, crowds and street performers alike struggle not to collide. One brave mime stands still as the swirl of people hurries around, trying to avoid each other.
