Jill Kennington is a typical 1963 model. She is 5 foot 8 inches, 34-23-35, may look like a waif suffering just the teeniest bit from malnutrition, but give her a zany job, and she’ll do it. She said, “I don’t ask for danger money. I don’t mind doing anything crazy because I know it will produce a marvellous, exciting picture.”

Inspiriert von @skysurfa@pixelfed.art schicke ich das hier hinterher, von der mächtigen #Boudicca, die jetzt gegen billigen Londonkitsch kämpft // Inspired by another submission, I throw in another one of #Boudica the warrior queen, rising up against cheap #London souvenirs

A low-angle shot showcases the bronze statue of Boudica, the warrior queen of the Iceni, standing regally in her chariot. Two powerful horses pull the chariot, their muscles defined and appearing to be in motion. Boudica faces forward, a spear held upright in her right hand, her left arm raised in a commanding gesture. She is adorned in a flowing gown and a crown or headdress, signifying her royal status. The statue is set against a backdrop of a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, suggesting a sunny day in London. In the immediate foreground, slightly blurred, is a souvenir stand. A bright red banner at the top of the stand proclaims "Buy Your Tickets Here!". Below the banner, an assortment of London-themed souvenirs are displayed, including baseball caps emblazoned with "LONDON", keychains, and other small trinkets, indicating the statue's location as a popular tourist attraction near Westminster Bridge.

A quotation from Banksy

If you want someone to be ignored then build a life-size bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of town. It doesn’t matter how great you were, it’ll always take an unfunny drunk with climbing skills to make people notice you.

Banksy (b. 1974?) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director
Wall and Piece, “Art,” “Street Sculpture” (2005)

This bronze worker in The Hague keeps smiling friendly, even though a pigeon is is hitching a ride on the planks on his shoulder and he is already covered in poop. I thought this bronze statue was fitting well on #texturetuesday #statue #streetphotography #denhaag #nederland #thenetherlands #photography #travel #streetphoto #photo

Justice (t)

I'm not exactly sure what was going on, but, there were disabled people standing on the roof of the Placer County Courthouse. Apparently, this is common as no one seemed to be concerned. I hung around for a little while, but, there didn't appear to be any movement, so, I wandered on.
