20060802_0001_10D-17 "Scott on Ice" Juxtaposition

A picture that can never be replicated "one shot, in camera", as this one was shot.

Statue (monument) to Robert Falcon Scott (Antarctic explorer) with the word "ICE" in background. ICE comes from "police" on the then Christchurch Police Station. I felt there was good juxtaposition with the word "ice" and Scott depicted to be standing on ice.

This pic was taken a few years before the earthquakes that struck our area. In the destructive quake of February 22 2011 the statute toppled to the ground and the multi-storey Police Station was damaged. It (the Police Station) was later demolished (late May 2015) by implosion.

For a few years the statue was seen in the museum, but I understand that it has been returned or will be returned to it's original plinth.

The central Police Station is now in a different part of the city, about five minutes walk away from where it was.

Shooting data: Canon 10D with EF17-40mm lens at 17mm.

Taken in: New Zealand / Canterbury / Christchurch / Christchurch Central (show map)
