I thought I was being very clever and could catch the reflection on the glass roof of the information sign at the metro stop.
And yesterday on a very grey day with the threat of rain it looked as if it could work, but it only sort of did.
So perhaps the image and the story should be parked in the series on Street furniture, and not “Four clever photographs from Andrew in St Peter’s Square”.
And if I am lucky there will be more than a few better pictures posted to accompany the story.
We shall see.
But in my defence against those who mutter what’s this to do with history?
The answer is that it wasn’t that long ago when we only had two metro platforms which were situated elsewhere in the square, and there will be many of us who remember a very different place.

Picture; at the metro stop, 2018 and almost the same spot, 1981, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
