ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.<br /> <br /> <br /> These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, a Nikon D850 FX Pro body as my trusted companion, I travel light with less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 32.927+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site. <br /> <br /> <br /> ***** Selected for sale in the GETTY IMAGES COLLECTION on June 11th 2019<br /> <br /> <br /> CREATIVE RF gty.im/1154992185 MOMENT OPEN COLLECTION**<br /> <br /> <br /> This photograph became my 3,710th frame to be selected for sale in the Getty Images collection and I am very grateful to them for this wonderful opportunity.<br /> <br /> <br /> .<br /> .<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Photograph taken at an altitude of Eleven metres, at 10:31am on Tuesday June 4th 2019, on a an overcast and drizzle filled morning off Birdcage Walk and Horse Guards Road in the grounds of St James's Park.
