Fiery Red Telephone Box
The red telephone box, seen a lot around London, is a public telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1924. It has become one of London's trademarks, even though it's also found in ex-British colonies around the world.
To get this photo with my 50mm lens, I had to keep creeping closer and closer to the line of riot police (and fire), whilst down on one knee. I expected one of them to run over and start beating me with a baton. This would have at least given more credence to my shots. I loved how imposing they look silhouetted against the flames.
Once most of the fire was out and they'd chased some protesters off, they withdrew back towards Trafalgar Square.
You might be interested in seeing the rest of my UK Uncut / TUF riots.
Again, with my riot photos, this looks far more awesome on black. (Press L)
