Nelson Mandela Eyes The London Eye

This was shot on a cold foggy February morning and the fog was just starting to evanesce away. It was a really amazing sight, because I thought it was going to be just another crappy London day and suddenly the Eye appeared out of the fog. I took loads of pics before it got this clear, but the light blue colour is the sky just starting to show through the fog.

This statue used to sit on the South Bank by the National Theatre and I think was commissioned a few years after he was released from prison. The statue no longer sits there as they are building a shopping arcade there!! So this shot no longer exists!!

I don't usually use HTML in the postings on here, however your BBCode would look like this.

Should I change it, or does it not matter? Happy to do what you guys prefer.

I try to encourage people to use BBCode. A lot of people have HTML turned off by default and it'll just come up as code if that's the case.

Plus, BBCode is easier to write.

By default, I keep mine turned off as it lets me correct ya'll. :lol:

Nice picture. I like the negative space.
Is there now a Nelson Mandela statue in London? How long has it been there? Why is it there?

The un-recreatable shot, nice, I wonder where the statue is now, surely they would of relocated him some where else.
