London & Rhinos in Chester!
I had to go to London for work this week and I was lucky enough to stay near Tower Bridge - I managed to get some nice photos of Tower Bridge and the River Thames at sunset.
On my way home at the train station there was a Rhino scuplture! The Roman city of Chester is having Rhino Mania and there are lots of different brightly painted rhino sculptures appearing all over the city - some large and some small.
They will be auctioned off later in the year but they certainly bring a splash of colour to Chester! My favourites so far are this Roman Centurian Rhino sponsored by Virgin Trains at Euston Station in London - he is called "Maximus Rhinocerous - Guardian of Chester". The other I like is a smaller one housed in a jewellers shop in Chester called "Bling" he is made like a mirror ball in a ballroom with tiny mirror squares all over his body - so cute! You can find out more about the Chester Rhinos here.
