A very interesting shot from you, Tom. It brought back nice memories for me. Thank you.
I certainly like the clouds but I also like the monument installed in Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, Wirral, Merseyside.
This monument was erected in memory of Queen Victoria in the form of the Eleanor Cross. A fine structure but not that which was intended as the original idea was to have a bronze edifice erected but sufficient funds did not come through so a stone monument was built instead. That said, this is a really interesting and pleasing structure.
