As most of you know, I have a thing for taking pictures of statues (I'm sure that a psychoanalyst would deduct some unpleasant facts from preferring statues to people).
The Albert Memorial provided me with plenty of inspiration yesterday.
The pictures above are of the Asia and Africa groups of statues, and of the Agriculture and Manufactures groups (and of course of His Royal Highness himself).
Apologies to my American and European friends for not including Europe and America but they were not quite as interesting and on the other side of the monument, and to my antipodean fellow LJ-ers but the statues were just not there.
At least, there's some beefcake for you all! (he works in Manufacturing)
