A bad day for fishing

A cold morning in an almost empty street close to Brick Lane, London. The light it´s still dim, reflecting a world of men in black, without shadows, departing from their houses in order to start their daily routine. The street is only fill with the clacking of a couple of expensive moccasins, and the presence of a little extravagant recording cabin in the left side of the sidewalk.
