There are only 52 (or occasionally 53) Sundays in a year and only on a few can I avail myself of the opportunities afforded by them for uncluttered photography. On such a Sunday, I walked from Barbican to Cannon Street station and saw some remarkable things along the way.

On the corner of Giltspur Street and Cock Lane is a statuette notable more than anything for its accompanying history. Who knew that the Great Fire of London was, at one time, attributed to the 'Sin of Gluttony'? Golden Boy
