Statue of Boadicea


The ultimate warrior queen, Boadicea along with her daughters in this statue (not framed in this picture).   
In this picture, Boadicea is standing in her chariot with the sharp scythes on its wheels to cut down her Roman enemies.
This is a captivating statue one can never miss when they are strolling along the Westminster bridge (diagonally opposite to Big Ben).

    You could have taken this picture in the portrait mode? Something seems missing in the bottom part of this photo. The story behind this statue is inspirational...

      I could have DI! And yes, I don't think I have taken the bottom part as well! How dumb me! There should always be fresh perspectives while taking...guess mine is getting more conventional these days :(

    Yes it does. The face of Boadicea do represent supremacy or a kind of victory!
