Mid Summer has arrived, schools are shut down and people are enjoying summer activities. I thought it would be great if we try to capture these activities with a focus on people. This could be Watersports, Buskers, Bikers, Flower Enthusiasts, Petowners interacting with their pets, Camping activities, Poolside fun, People silhouettes in the blazing sun etc.

I haven’t been to Inglewood for quite a few weeks, so I thought that I would take a walk around. There weren’t that many birds and it seemed like there were more people!
