A cool Paternoster image:
Temple Bar Memorial: London
Image by Loco Steve
This monument, was designed by architect Horace Jones, and replaces the Temple Bar Gate , which was demolished in 1878 ( and now stand at Paternoster Square ). It consists of an elaborate pedestal in a Neo-Renaissance style with a sculpture of a dragon (commonly referred to as Griffin) on the top, with the coat of arms of the City of London & the motto ‘Domine dirige nos’. The dragon was sculpted by Birch. Below the dragon is the text referring to the gate:
Temple bar – formerly – stood here – mdccclxxx.
I think it is one of my favorite statue/monuments around London,It was raining when i took this image so it is a bit dark,and i adjusted the background to better define the main object of the photo..
