Following on from the post London, 1940s, in high resolution colour, here are three more images taken less than a year later. All three were taken by Ed Kotun.

Two things I love about these pictures:
1) No Yellow lines
2) Biker with no helmet
More innocent times…
There were several more color pictures of London that I took…they are on the same flickr.com site…also some pictures of Paris which are very retro. You may use them all with my compliments.
Thanks Ed, that’s very kind of you.
I love these retro-pics in colour!!! And i like the new howtobearetronaut.com!
Superb Fotos!
Wish it was me who took ‘em!
Great photos, and if you look closely at the third one, you can just see a police box in the background (zoom in and look just to the right of the belisha beacon, and there it is!) Something else that’s vanished from the streets, apart from the modern one at Earl’s Court, and given the modern connection with you-know-who, very appropriate for a Retronaut!
Fantastic shots. I reckon it is (from top to bottom) Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus and Park Lane?
