Perfect Perch

I had some free time whilst at my son’s in Thame so I jumped on a bus to Aylesbury. This statue of John Hampden (1595-1645) was in the market square. That forefinger was obviously intended as a pigeon perch.

We have a “pointy man” in our town! Not the same one though. Great shot of this one

Looks as though he is saying 'you are supposed to be a homing pigeon, now go home'

I didn't know the story of John Hampden. I had to read it on the Internet afterwards.

@kork I do apologise. I really should have included a link.

Lol - love the pigeon. They have such a knack for bringing lofty statues back to the everyday world. :)

I often think I am glad I am not famous enough for a statue. All you would get is birds pooping on your head (or finger in this case). :-)
