What A Wonderful Memorial

Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:29 pm

Sadly, my camera and my lack of camera skills let me down badly on the day. If you haven't seen the Guardian Miners Memorial at Six Bells near Abertillery, then I recommend you go and see it.

Here's some of my attempts at capturing it, but I failed to do it justice:

It's not often we have statues for working class people in this country, it's usually some rich so and so who exploited others. I was surprised at how impressive it is.

I recommend you get over there some day soon, boi bach.
