Summary
[edit]DescriptionEarl Haig Memorial - Whitehall London. (35975798850).jpg |
The Earl Haig Memorial is a bronze equestrian statue of the British Western Front commander Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig on Whitehall in Westminster. It was created by the sculptor Alfred Frank Hardiman and commissioned by Parliament in 1928. Eight years in the making, it aroused considerable controversy, the Field Marshal's riding position, his uniform, the anatomy and stance of the horse all drawing harsh criticism. The inscription on the statue base reads 'Field Marshal Earl Haig Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in France 1915–1918'. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Haig_Memorial" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Haig_Memorial</a> This image was taken from upstairs on a double decker bus.. TIP: The new style London double decker buses have a sliding window that you can open and stick your camera out of so you get a glare free photo. You just have to take pot luck where the bus stops or goes very slow... That being said if there is something you want to photograph and it is near a bus stop get on the bus a couple of stops before and get ready to take your shot when it stops.. The advantage is that from street level there is often something blocking your view.. Make sure that you ring the bell so the bus actually stops . In this case the bus was stuck in traffic which is not unusual for Whitehall.. |
