Oooh, this is deep

... I was surprised by its American atmosphere?

A certain picture comes to mind.. like, Hopper's Nighthawks..

.. or is there a British refernce in here I do miss?

It's already been cut, recut, recoloured, edited and Johnlocked on Tumblr. Gotta love the fandom.

Wow….. seriously. And all the stories it suggests! Does John know he's there? Yes, and he left on a tense note? Presumably after he's been back, as the mustache is gone? What happened? Those expressions! Huh… and no scarf! Man, can't wait….

The atmosphere in that pic is killing me... It doesn't make the waiting any easier, but nevertheless... it's beautiful.

Sherlock looks positively dreamy, doesn't he? XD

Absolutely!
The whole composition of the scene is exquisite, and if it's really a scene that will end up in the show... well...so far we've never seen John going out to grab something to eat on his own, right? Sherlock has always been with him (although he never ate anything himself ), so this now... there's loneliness in both their faces.

Without giving anything away...it's definitely from the show.

I assumed as much, there have been pics from the shooting all over the internet...

Oh god, I love it! What a great and atmospheric shot! Can't wait for S3 to air - though we all will have to...
(And could Martin possibly look any more gorgeous?)

The first thing I saw this morning when switching on my phone ... So beautiful.

Same with me - I was still in bed and my sleepy head first couldn't make head or tail of it.
Yes - beautiful. But somehow it reminds me a little of wax figures. Has to be a promo shot, not a real scene. Anyway: New exciting material!

am loving John's jacket.

**Posted by SusiGo** November 5, 2013 8:58 am

The jacket is great. And as for the shot - I guess it is a promo taken from a real scene.

**Posted by Mattlocked** November 5, 2013 9:03 am

If that is a real scene I will squeak and cry....

It is common for them to take photos like this while actors are filming, as promo shots

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** November 5, 2013 11:22 am

*whispers* Pretty certain it's a real scene....*runs away*
