During a recent excursion, I spotted this Golden Boy on the roof of a building. Managed to get an angle on it with the Pocket2 from the street below.

Pretty big nose. A new series? Metal statues?

More of a "where is it?"  Depp.  I expect David will be itching to pin it down when he sees it
Hermes has a winged hat and heels. I think it may be his hat, although on zooming in it seems he does have a rather large "conk"  (slang for nose)

Ah, yes, now I see that it's not his conk but his head. Lol.

Interesting capture Mr. B.

At first I thought it may have been a Post and Telecoms building, but that turned out to not be the case

So you spotted that on your 4 day "get away"?  

DowntownRDB Posted at 5-15 11:42
So you spotted that on your 4 day "get away"?

Yes. A place we'd never visited before

Could that be Stamford,   I think it might be on top a jewellers.  

Edit.  Yes Dawson of Stamford jewellers.

You're good. Yes Dawson's jewellers.
Interestingly from some angles on Google Maps you can see it clearly, but from others it has been redacted.
Have a Pineapple as your reward - and see if you can guess where THAT is

Always nice to visit new places.  You never know what you'll find there.  As long as they have a nice diner and good coffee it's always worth the trip.

Thats not a pineapple,  thats an artichoke.

Is it?  Are you sure?    Well if you can figure out where that one is, I hope it chokes you

Nice sunny capture!

Thanks Peter.  Only Friday was wet. The other three days we had decent weather.

You're welcome.
We had a lot of on-off last days.

That statue has only been in situ for about 8 years, apparently.

Well spotted, hope you had a nice trip

Oh, so it is brand new.

Thanks. It was very enjoyable

Indeed.  I've found a couple of nice morning style coffee bars that serve these to die for danish and other light breakfast dishes.

Fairly new

Light is the keyword, if you want to watch your waistline

Exactly.  Nice that I've been able to swim and dive again.  I quickly dropped 5 pounds.

It will probably still be there long after I'm gone

Blériot53 Posted at 5-16 12:32

Time for me to do a little biking tomorrow.

Got the eBike all charged up.    Still requires human pedal power also so I'll get a light workout.

Good morning Peter. I'm still here so far, though

I think they call them Spanish artichokes,  but there are so many around especially in London I have no idea.
