Nottingham City's War Memorial lies in the Memorial Gardens, opened in 1927 on the Victoria Embankment. The land was donated to the Corporation of Nottingham by Jesse Boot (founder of Boots the Chemists) to be preserved as open space and a memorial site in perpetuity.
When I took this, I could only get the blades to be still, and not show the spinning effect (was on automatic settings).
It has two sets of helicopter blades spinning, flying it where ever it was going.
PS Tattershall Castle was a passenger ferry across the Humber until the bridge was opened in 1974. Now a floating restaurant moored adjacent to the Victoria Embankment. The imposing building in the background is the Royal Horseguards Hotel. Built in 1884 as luxury apartments and converted to a hotel and conference centre in 1971. Photo 2015

A view of one of the 2 sphinxes which flank Cleopatra's Needle on Victoria Embankment in London. The sphinxes designed by English architect George John Vulliamy are cast in bronze and bear hieroglyphic inscriptions that say netjer nefer men-kheper-re di ankh, which translates as "the good god, Thuthmosis III given life". On 4 September 1917, during World War I, a bomb from a German air raid landed near the needle. In commemoration of this event, the damage remains unrepaired to this day and is clearly visible in the form of shrapnel holes and gouges on this phinx as can be seen in this photo.
Here's elephant #197, "Haathini", by Penelope Patrick. It's on the northern bank of the River Thames, beside Cleopatra's Needle on Victoria Embankment. Keeping the sphinxes company (or should the plural of sphinx be "sphinxen"?). Tiz and I liked this one a lot, not least because of the tiny ladybird near the artist's signature and the blue butterflies on its back.
PS: You'd be amazed how many people jog along here...
Artist's Inspiration - from the auction website: "The Palm trees are symbolic of the diminishing vegetation due to man's necessity for land. The space above the palms represents the corridors that the elephants need to connect their habitats. The Butterflies mean freedom."
