Buxton Memorial Fountain

Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 25 February 2010 in Architecture.

Another shot from my photo walk in London, this is the Buxton Memorial,
The Buxton Memorial Fountain is a memorial in London, the United Kingdom, that commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834 ( from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buxton_Memorial_Fountain)

Looks like a snowy day ahead today, according to the news up to a foot of snow of the city, kind of hoping for a snow day LOL

Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Was away for a while but finally back
Other shots are posted on my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/tattoodjay/

Good POV, I took a similar shot of St Albans abbey a while back. I like that the trees are overhanging in the top of the frame, gives us a sense of where we're standing.

I hope you get your snow day :)

Snow??? Wazdat?! :) They were not much ahead of the US in the emancipation thing, were they? Of course the slave trade issue (Amazing Grace and all that, came a bit earlier).

Nice image.
