Wellington Arch

After a couple of stressful weeks, I wanted to take a break and decided to roam in London for a whole day with friends. What a surprise, weather too cooperated, for the whole day we didn't have to use jacket, and in fact, I was feeling a bit hot and stuffy.

From London Victoria, we took a bus to Hyde Park, instead of taking the tube (underground train). I had a good time clicking away to my heart's content:) As we crossed Wellington Arch, luckily traffic light turned red and gave me a good chance to take pictures...

This arch was supposed to be the grand entrance for Buckingham Palace, but now it is relocated here. The splendid sculpture on top of the arch symbolizes peace and it is known as Peace Descending On The Chariot Of War. Now, am waiting for my turn to experience the 360-degree panoramic view from the arch's gallery. Here is another view of the arch and the sculpture...

As a die-hard cloud watcher, I feel that this angle looks as if peace is descending from beautiful clouds. Am I right?
