I’ve always been fascinated by Norwich’s Boer War Memorial. She’s sited at a busy road junction in the city centre so I’m sure loads of people drive by and wonder about her each day. I finally got a good look at her this week from the top deck of a bus – although it wasn’t great for taking photos.
I’ve added a bit of drama to this one as the original was pretty poor. I like the way it looks like her bronze wings are glowing. Luckily the clouds were amazing that day so she already had a great backdrop. I hope to go back and get some better photos.

She is certainly a stunning statue and I like the bit of colour you’ve added to her to bring her to life.

Actually all I did was add some light and the colour appeared. I think that’s why I liked it so much.

Thank you. I bet she’s seen some things too (as she’s close to the city centre nightclubs).

That’s amazing quality through the top of a bus window, they must be cleaner than I remember! She looks like a traffic stopper to me #MySundayPhoto

Love her wings. I’m trying to think where she is ……. bottom of Castle Meadow and top of Agricultural Plain? If so I went past her on the bus to school every day without paying her proper attention! #MySundayPhoto

Yes, that’s the one. How funny. I think because of where she is a lot of people just drive by without really noticing her. It’s such a busy junction.
