Blakes Elephant

The royal Armories is a host to all things with weaponary. for some reason best known to themselves, there is a large part of it dedicated to hunting. indeed all floors have one side to War and the other to hunting. There can be no getting away from the fact that in the U.K. during the "empire" years, the gentry would exercise the right to hunt big game. Even the description merits the bravery these aristocracy types were. Abhorrent, selfless and utterly without remorse they would set off in search of their prey for no other reason than trophy(ism). This is an abhorrent idealism. indeed this exhibit does not sit well with me at all. I see no heroism, I see fear, pain, subversiveness, horror all rolled into one scene. I have recorded it because it is there.
