Quiet Contemplation

The statue of the young airman at the Battle of Britain Memorial Site at Capel-le-Ferne looking out across the English Channel towards the French coast.

Taken shortly after sunrise, Boxing Day morning.

" ... that central figure sits on a propeller boss surrounded by the badges of all the Allied squadrons and other units that took part in the Battle. The blades of the propeller are set into the ground, making the memorial as striking from the air as it is for the visitor on the ground ..."
Powerful image of a poignant memorial. I like it very much.
