![Albert Memorial
.
The Albert Memorial, directly north of the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington Gardens, London, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband Prince Albert, who died in 1861. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style, it takes the form of an ornate canopy or pavilion 176 feet (54 m) tall, in the style of a Gothic ciborium over the high altar of a church,[1] sheltering a statue of the prince facing south.At the corners of the outer area, there is a programme of sculptures of personifications: four groups representing the traditional four continents: Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe (pictured) at the four corners, each continent-group including several ethnographic figures and a large animal: A camel for Africa, a bison for the Americas, an elephant for Asia and a bull for Europe. These groups represent something of a blend of traditional iconography for the continents personified, and an attempt to update them.

'Gautam Buddha may have known, but to repeat his words does not mean that you are also a knower. Those words can be repeated by a parrot, too. But the parrot cannot become a buddha." -Osho Shot by me.... #blackandwhite #buddha #blackandwhites #blackandwhitephotography #photography #quote #stilllifephotography #statue #black #blackandwhite #buddha #blackandwhites #blackandwhitephotography #photography #quote #stilllifephotography #statue #black
