Walking The Line in reverse - 2nd March

On the 2 March we met at Horse Guards and walked The Line in reverse, from Horse Guards to Primrose Hill. A couple of key thoughts came to me while on the wander...
 View from Regents Street, across Piccadilly towards Shaftsbury Ave (above).
Same view, + interventions (people). People changing the landscape dynamic.
+ traffic. In the seconds after this shot the view down Shaftsbury Ave is closed and the skyline changes. Found this quite interesting.
A sneak preview of the BT Tower from outside RIBA.  A nice break from the formality and structure of Portland Place.
In contrast with the view from the roof of RIBA during the first walk. View point is definitely something to be explored....

Seemingly mundane view across the road into Regents Park, but I quite like intersections and idea of people and traffic being controlled in the landscape.  Adds the the order and formality of the park.
