Wimbledon fever is going strong here in London.
We took a walk down to Wimbledon Park and strolled among all the hard core ticket buyers who were camping overnight and lining up for tickets.
Wimbledon brings a strange group of fans unlike any football match. You have a tent of older women out reading their books in the evening sunset right next to young teenagers who look like they are lining up for the next big concert.
The sky is beautiful as we stroll along and the atmosphere is great...like a weekend camping music festival.
We wander up to the tennis grounds (the green building above) only to find swarms of people and cars.
Some who live nearby have rented out their front driveway for eateries like this "All Day Breakfast" joint.
We risk our lives trying to work our way "upstream" in the crowds, which means we have to continuously step out onto a London road with the traffic coming from behind. DANGEROUS!
My last shot. An accident that turned out very nicely. It is begging to be a painting.
