The fountain at Trafalgar Square.
Originally uploaded by ecuk07.
Trafalgar Square is considered the "Heart of London." At Trafalgar Square we noticed it's many statues and fountains including: the bronze lions, the National Gallery, the Church of St. Martin -in-the-Fieldd, the statue of James II - who restored Catholiciam to England and was later forced into exile in France, and, Trafalgar's most famous monument Nelson's Columne. It is dedicated to Lord Nelson for his victory over a French and Spanish fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. He stands 17 feet high, on top of a 185 foot tall fluted granite column surrounded by the bronze lions. Pigeons are also seen in flocks around Nelson's column and throughout Trafalgar Square.
