Description

The Monument to the Women of World War II is a British national war memorial situated on Whitehall in London, to the north of the Cenotaph. It was sculpted by John W. Mills, unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II and dedicated by Baroness Boothroyd in July 2005.

Fundraising was conducted by a charitable trust set up for the purpose of establishing a memorial, with the National Heritage Memorial Fund donating towards the project. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_to_the_Women_of_World_War_II" rel="nofollow">Info from this site. More....</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..
