It's been an extremely productive month, and one of the most productive months I've ever had!
Despite suffering a really serious head-cold during the second week of July which forced me to take time off from work, I wanted to make sure I could push on through publishing the photographs from Piccadilly Circus, and I successfully published the last of the photo-set of Piccadilly Circus from the 17th April.
I've almost finished publishing the remaining photo-set from the 23rd April on here, and I'm excited as I've got a small number of photos from the 23rd April left to publish which I cannot wait for you to see over the coming weeks!
I've been noticing more results every time I leave the gym and I've lost a lot of weight since the beginning of the year, and it feels so good to achieve my fitness goals while on the go!
It's been a bag of mixed emotions over the last few weeks which is understandable considering we were coming up to the end of the third lockdown, and Freedom Day came and went so fast that most of the restrictions have since been lifted, so for me, the photography work I've published, including the fact I've been going to the gym often, has given me a reason to maintain my focus on my passion for photography while achieving my fitness goals.
Before July closes its doors for one last time, I'll summarise the photos/articles published throughout July.

Although it was a beautiful sunny day, the UK stood tall and silent while giving a salute to the late Duke of Edinburgh following his passing in April.
It was a very sombre moment in Piccadilly Circus as this billboard of the men carrying the Duke of Edinburgh's coffin highlighted the end of an era for the Royal Family, but symbolised his life for the royal duties he fulfilled.
13.7.2021 - Piccadilly Circus is a beautiful place; the scenery is stunning!
The buildings capture the area's beauty, and there's no better feeling than seeing everyone exploring the area and making the most of the beautiful sun!
As everyone went about their day in Piccadilly Circus, I couldn't help but notice the silence filling the place because everyone took a moment to remember HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
It's not often I see a moment of silence in a thriving place like this, but it proves how powerful someone's death can have on everyone, especially when a member of the Royal Family has passed away.
The best thing about Piccadilly Circus is its elegance; the area has a simplistic direction, the buildings are a work of art in their own right because of their visually appealing design aspects, and it's easy to get around.
I love the peaceful and quiet walk down Shaftesbury Avenue; it's an excellent way to clear the mind, and the weather is a massive benefit with a hint of a breeze to help relax the soul.

The buildings and statues surrounding it are stunning, and it's visually appealing.
It's a beautiful feeling when you get up, close and personal at any place you visit, and for St. Martin's Place, you're getting the best view up close with the architecture of this building.
I love the view of this building and the area up close because it provides an intimate idea that stands out, and the detailing and aged look of the building interests me.
17.7.2021 - Major General Sir Henry Havelock KCB's statue was erected in Trafalgar Square during the 1800-1900 era, and highlighted the campaign of the Indian Rebellion, which lasted from 1857 to 1859.
Trafalgar Square is no stranger to making noises; the lions make a joyous uproar regularly, encouraging visitors to explore its beauty.
As the lions' roar, they successfully make their presence known.
It's a positive call to arms for everyone to come down to Trafalgar Square!
The relaxed traffic around Trafalgar Square was a perfect opportunity for this rider to zoom through London at full speed!
In this place of fun, you can do anything; enjoy the delicacy of what London offers, including the drinks that you'll love in and around London!

Piccadilly Circus is full of exciting reasons to enjoy the hot weather; food and drinks bring everyone together; meanwhile, something fizzy's added to the mix.
The best feeling of cooling down in the hot weather is knowing you can enjoy fizzy drinks, such as Coca Cola, and I find that Coca Cola in hot weather helps me cool down.
Lillywhites is a beautiful part of Piccadilly Circus; it stands out from the crowd!
From selling footwear to the latest clothing and other essentials, Lillywhites has everything to offer!

23.7.2021 - If there's anything I love about Jermyn Street is the perspective it provides; you have two ways of looking at this road.
The directions to the left and right and the straightforward path capture the beautiful essence of Jermyn Street and the buildings that surround it.
What I love about Jermyn Street is there's more to the area than meets the eye; the structure of the buildings and the beautiful clear sky makes this road feel like a journey to the beautiful unknown.

A month before the coronavirus pandemic began, I got Amy Winehouse's eyes tattooed on my arm with her legendary trademark makeup by Jakki at Harlequin Tattoos, as her music resonated with me because her mental health, for me, played out entirely in the public eye.
It was eye-opening to hear her music as she documented her Back to Black album during a period of her life that was widely publicised.
Ten years on since her passing, I remember so vividly I was at home with my family after being off school for the last week of the term due to a cold.
25.7.2021 - Strolling down Waterloo Place in this beautiful weather is such an incredible feeling!
It's so quiet, yet so full of peace and is terrific!
I love the sunny weather when it lights up Regent Street; it makes the place feel so welcoming and warming.
The warmth fills the place with a breeze to keep the street nice and cool, and a mixture of both makes it so enjoyable!
The best reason you should be in Regent Street is the scenery; the buildings capture that beautiful warmth, and the view is remarkable!
The warmth draws you in and makes you feel like the place is a second area to call home.
What's fascinating about Regent Street is the beauty of the landscape; from a standard view, you see Regent Street for how it usually is, but on a closer look, there's beauty in the landscape.
There is a personal feeling that Regent Street brings because there's more to the buildings surrounding it, including the statues.

I'm fond of the warm weather wherever I go; it felt like Summer, at that point, already arrived, and the Spring season in April during that day was so beautiful and warm it felt like Summer began earlier than planned.
