A tale of two Freddies

22 10 2008

Looking through my photos just now, I spotted a neat duo that I thought I’d share. Hope you like them :)

Freddie statue Montreux

Statue of Freddie Mercury in Montreux

This first photo is of the statue that stands in tribute to the Queen frontman, who lived his final years in Montreux. The flowers are to celebrate what would have been his 60th birthday on September 2, 2006.

The next photo is outside the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End, where the musical We WIll Rock You has been playing for years.

Banksy’s statement just off Oxford St, in London’s West End. I particularly like that he created this directly underneath a CCTV camera …

A building as art

The Guggenheim gallery in Bilbao is amazing – I found the building itself to be far more intriguing, fascinating and inspiring than many of the installations inside it …
