Lady with the Lamp

A very quick upload I'm afraid. I've been running round today trying to catch up with myself (and failing) post long weekend and decadent day in London yesterday. I've still things to do and I'm zonked - I'm off to help mum and dad downsize tomorrow so that will be another busy day - so I'll have lots of lovely pics to catch up on on Friday!

Anyway - a wrong turn yesterday took us to the Crimea memorial - nice to see a woman on a plinth. In fact nice to see somebody on a plinth who's claim to fame wasn't fighting...

Three good things:
1. Nurses
2. Blue sky
3. My photos inside Victoria's Secrets which led to a classic comment from Adam, 'But you're not allowed to take photos in there - we got thrown out for it - oh - maybe it was because we're boys...'

[Alison Tomlin]

Were you buying a bra for your upcoming busty day??

[Fanny Brogden]

@fueast LOL Ha ha ha............too funny! :00

[Pat Knowles]

Victoria's Secrets is an underwear shop isn't it ...what was Adam doing with a camera in there !!! LOL ! A bit of a busty pun Judith but good luck tomorrow you will need it!!!
Lovely silhouette of Florence!!!

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast @fannyb @happypat This is what happens when you run off to watch Scott & Bailey instead of proof reading!!

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg Well you shouldnt have corrected it because there's no joke now!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Ahh Florence, my role model. The essays I had to write on her. ..... takes me back. Lovely shot of this wonderful statue and very amusing comments!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg No spoil sport , should have left it!!!!

[bernadette mcelligott]

this is great Judith, I love the composition and that you left Florence in the shade, and the comment from Adam, hahaha

[Helene]

Love it!

[Maggiemae]

Lovely look at the "Lady with the Lamp"!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

So beautiful against the blue sky.

[Mags ッ]

Excellent shot and perspective :)

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat I think he may have been admiring the photography!! It is a very funky shop...

[Jan Hall]

Lovely silhouette

[Judith Johnson]

Nicely silhouetted against the blue sky.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Yes very nice to see a woman on a plinth. Lovely silhouette.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Great shot, Judith. I was in DC Monday, looking at statue after statue of military types on horses. I believe every park has a general on a rearing horse. Who remembers their names now? Yet we all remember Florence and her lamp! There must be a lesson there.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I know how you feel. I feel as if I'm constantly chasing my tail atm! Great silhouette xx

[Cathie]

What a lovely photo. The silhouette against that gorgeous blue sky is wonderful.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great in silhouette. And Adams comment got a belly laugh! Good luck with your busy busty day

[Lisa Stein]

Beautiful composition. Wishing you strength for the big projects ahead.

[Janna E.]

Lovely composition - sometimes a wrong turn is the best opportunity for photos, isn't it? Adam's comment sure is funny ;).

[Myrna O'Hara]

Beautiful composition

[Diana Moss]

Wonderful composition, love the silhouette of the statue against the blue sky

[Phil Howcroft]

Judith I love your line " nice to see somebody on a plinth who's claim to fame wasn't fighting...".....gr8 contrast between sky, lady and building ....is it PC to say i look forward to the victoria secrets picture ???

[Judith Greenwood]

@phil_howcroft It's normal!! On my iPhone - I'll have to find a good one!

[Peggy Sirk]

Fabulous composition with an intriguing contrasts between the marvelous silhouette, the stately structure in the background and the beautiful blue sky. Love Adam's Victoria's Secret observation/revelation. :)

[Juliette Packham]

Love your little spelling error even if you did remove it!!! Lol to Adams comment, I went into Victoria's secret with vicki in Dubai...first one I've been in!!

[JH]

Lovely silhouette against that blue (!!) sky. I've never actually been in a Victoria's Secret. I doubt they do the types of sturdy matronly numbers I'm currently rocking.

[Hamble]

Its beautiful the way you've caught her silhouette with all the detail of her lamp.

[Kathy A]

Fabulous composition and great silhouette.

[Barb Smith]

Love the contrasts . . . . and of course Adam's revelation!
