"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled.
All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything."
[C. S. Lewis]

A beautiful spring afternoon around Mayfair district, London, UK.
Mayfair is an affluent area in the West End of London towards the eastern edge of Hyde Park, in the City of Westminster, between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane. It is one of the most expensive districts in the world.
The area was originally part of the manor of Eia and remained largely rural until the early 18th century. It became well known for the annual "May Fair" that took place from 1686 to 1764 in what is now Shepherd Market.
The Mayfair Buildings was constructed in 1906 to a design by the Belfast firm of Blackwood and Jury. It is located on Cornmarket, which started out its existence by being, well, a market for corn, and is now one of the main hubs of the city's pedestrian precinct.
The sculpture is entitled Spirit of Belfast, was sculpted by Dan George, and unveiled in 2009. According to the English Wikipedia: "The coloured lighting is designed to reflect the texture and lightness of linen, while the metal reflects the strength and beauty of shipbuilding, two important aspects of Belfast's history."

I was testing the bokeh when shooting the 35mm Summicron at F2, on the Leica M10. I have to say that I personally quite like the look the M10 gives. Just need to save a lot, a very lot now. This is my perfect combo.
Leica M10, Summicron 35mm, and post processed in Lightroom.

Why "XVIth London." ? Because Mayfair is literally like the 16th arrondissement of Paris but in London (wealthy and rich.. là là là!)
I wanted to take this picture when my sweet Francois made this scene!

Hats Off Day, Hastings Street, Burnaby Heights, British Columbia, Canada.
The Dodge Mayfair was an automobile built by Chrysler Corporation of Canada Ltd. This vehicle was produced solely for the Canadian market from 1953 to 1959. Its American equivalent was the Plymouth Belvedere. It was based on the Plymouth, a vehicle that Chrysler of Canada had been offering since 1935 and Chrysler in Detroit started offering in export markets in 1936.
The Mayfair's last year was 1959, when it was downgraded a notch to take the place of the Regent, while the Crusader was dropped from the line up. The 1959 Mayfair still came in two and four door versions of the sedan and hardtop, plus the imported 3-seat Custom Suburban station wagon and convertible. Although the wagon models were 318 CID V8 only, the other models were now available with either the 251 CID flathead six or the 313 CID V8
