Not sure how naked this vaguely Steampunk looking guy had been earlier but what you can't see out of frame is a large sound-system on a bike trailer which had accompanied the 1500 cyclists of the London World Naked Bike Ride 2014.
I love the way his hair (it may be a wig ?) is so orange my camera couldn't cope and the details are completely blown.......

From Wikipedia : "The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, but some on skateboards and inline skates), to "deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world."
The dress code motto is "bare as you dare". Full or partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory. There is no mandate to cover intimate parts; this is a distinguishing feature of the WNBR against other cycling events.
Creative expression is also encouraged to generate a fun and immersive atmosphere during the ride, capture the attention and imagination of the public and media, and make the experience more personalized and fulfilling for the riders. Body art, such as body painting, are common forms of creative expression, as well as costumes, art bikes, portable sound reinforcement systems (such as public address systems, bullhorns and boomboxes) and musical instruments or other types of noisemaker."

Classic 'Rule of thirds' demonstration. Given his obsession with the grid I'd like to think the Architect Richard Meier would like this shot if he were to see it.

From Wikipedia : "Meier embraced the difficult task of creating a building that would ultimately display a variety of contemporary artworks that were unknown to him at the time of design. The choice to build the museum in the Plaça dels Ángels is consistent with Meier’s vision to situate the building amongst some of Barcelona’s oldest streets and buildings, in addition to revamping the public space of the Raval.
After the completion of the $35 million construction, local media referred to the museum as “the pearl” amongst the old architecture and narrow streets just a few blocks from Gothic center of Barcelona. The building’s architectural style has strong references to Modernism. The large (120 by 35 meters) white building has much of its southern elevation glazed, providing the visitor with views across the plaza, and allowing for an abundance of natural light to illuminate the interior galleries. The museum has three main galleries, which can be subdivided, as well as five smaller galleries, one of which is in a tower."

Deliberately composed to add to the feeling of disorientation. Hopefully it's easy to imagine this was taken from the rollercoaster itself. My wife uploaded a photo of the Rage Rollercoaster at Southend's Adventure Island Amusement Park about six months ago and it's gone on to become one of her most viewed photos (see here : www.flickr.com/photos/marie-g/1223410820/ ). Not that I'm competitive but I'm going to need your help catching up.
From Wikipedia : "Rage is a Gerstlauer Eurofighter roller coaster situated at Adventure Island in Southend On Sea, United Kingdom. It opened on 10 February 2007. It is one of the biggest investments the park has ever made. It features three inversions: a Vertical loop, Immelmann and a Zero-G roll."
Update : Apologies for bumping this to the front of my photostream because I know it'll annoy some of you but it's not every day that a magazine runs an interview about your photography, click here for details of my Interview in the June 2011 Issue of Advanced Photographer Magazine : www.flickr.com/darrellg/5737939741/ (Promise not to mention it again ;-)
Oh, and for those interested Maries shot is still a couple of thousand views ahead of me so thats another reason for bumping ;-)
Update, 17/09/13 : Finally overtaken her........

Whilst on a reconnaissance trip in London the week before Photo24 I was taken rather by surprise by approx 1500 naked cyclists. They were the London part of the World Naked Bike Ride, an annual protest against Oil dependency. It's definitely one way to draw attention to your cause.
Perhaps unsurprisingly this is about the only photo I can post here without flagging it as '"Moderate" which would seem a bit ironic when everyone in London that day could see the cyclists in the flesh (pun indended)........
