War Memorial

This is a war memorial in Rougemont Gardens in Exeter, Devon. A nice little park behind Exeter Central Train Station. I only came up here as I’d just missed my train home and had to hang around for an hour for the next one, so probably would never have seen this fine memorial.

 

This is taken with my new Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. I must admit I’m loving this lens. Getting close in and getting these types of angles just wasn’t possible with my previous 18-55 kit lens.

 

I went for an apocalyptic look to this shot, hence the over dramatic sky and slightly washed out look!
