Albert Memorial

Albert Memorial
Kensington Gardens, London. The memorial was completed in 1875; it was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and the statue of Prince Albert is by John Henry Foley. In the background is Royal Albert Hall, opened in 1871. It was designed by Capt. Francis Fowke and Major-Gen. H. Y. D. Scott of the Royal Engineers; the dome was designed by another engineer, Rowland Mason Ordish.

The PiP has a view from the other side of the memorial.

Veddy English. picture postcard feel, but with a lot more composition to it. The whites and gold really focus the attention, while the three trees at right balance the columns on the memorial very well. One of those shots that repay trying to see why it's so satisfying.

Yes, it is amazing how "easily" everything falls in place.
The natural of the picture is the art, its inner harmony, the mind who made it.

Very grand looking and beautifully framed by the trees. I think they must have refurbished it since I lived in London. I remember it as rather drab.

When I took this, Jean, I hadn't seen the Albert Memorial since the 1980s. I remembered it as being about half its actual size, so you can imagine my shock.
