Photo Hunt - Battle of Britain Memorial
There is no set subject for this week's Photo Hunt so I have chosen some details of the Batle of Britain memorial on the Victoria Embankment not far from the Houses of Parliament
wow, what a powerful memorial, I had not seen this. I can barely remember those days, my father was in the navy and when he came home in 1945 I was 8 years old.

The second picture looks exactly like the lead character in Hellboy with the sawed off horns.
The shots are clear, and the sculptures today are a great reminder of history. I respect the soldiers for all that they have done.
Very eerie too!
