Cathedral in Her Hands

That's St Paul's Cathedral she's holding. I had to hang over the edge of Vaxhaull Bridge to get this for you. A passerby not sure if I was planning to jump or not. Each side of the bridge has these amazing huge statues that are very difficult to see. The best view is by boat but even then you only get a view from the route the boat takes under the bridge. The upstream side the sculptures by F W Pomeroy are pottery, engineering, agriculture and the one pictured here; architecture. The downstream side sculptures by Alfred Drury are education, fine art, science and local government.
