Outside of Pride.

Is pride truly accessible when a security guarded border is put around the gay village for pride weekend with a charge imposed to cross the border? Will that charge exclude some more than others?
Stop sign in front of pride flag flying Fences erected to manage queues to enter the gay village during pride weekend — at a cost. Flyers attached to fences detaining tickets available.

A sunny morning in London. Light reflecting off the steps down to Tate Britain entrance. Seemed a good opportunity to try an overexposure with some pops of colour from people on the steps, the banner and the tree. #52frames_overunderexposed
image of people sitting and standing on steps to Tate Britain entrance. Intentionally over exposed to give a painting like effect.
