London under a heat wave

I was in London last month, and shot some photographs on a Velvia 50 film. Here are the results:

Looking for shade, I came across this weird shape

I found a beautiful lady sunbathing behind a street piano

I developed and scanned a black and white film this week, and here are some samples.

Oddly enough, a few days later I found the same message again, on a different wall ( this one is slightly shaken... )
