One of the buildings that my dad wanted to see when he was here in London last week was the ‘Walkie Talkie’ building, because of its unusual shape

“Big blue cock erected on fourth plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square”
Here is another of my collection of blue photos for Sally’s Blue Monday challenge
This one I found on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, originally intended for a statue of William the 4th on a horse, but remained bare for 150 years due to lack of funds. In 1999 a sequence of three contemporary artworks were displayed, and the display was so successful that now the Plinth is to be used for the temporary display of artworks. Currently a giant Blue Cockerel!
The statue received great reviews in the UK press with punning headlines such as “Big blue cock erected on fourth plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square”, “Boris Johnson in Trafalgar Square with a Massive Blue Cock And Disgruntled Woman” and “Boris Johnson unveils giant cock in Trafalgar Square”
Producing my ‘selfie‘ a few weeks back for my photography class was a major achievement. I was very proud of myself… but it is only when you look at the photos that ‘didn’t make the cut’ can you see how difficult I actually am to photograph!

Finally I found one I was happy with!! Continue reading
