"Pater Noster"

(also known as "Shepherd and Sheep") by Elizabeth Frink in Paternoster Square London. The square is just north of St Paul's Cathedral in an area that was flattened in the Blitz in 1942. I expect some of you will remember the bleak, wind-swept office blocks that were built there in the 1960s. After a planning argument, in which Prince Charles famously intervened, the area was redeveloped in the 1990s. Some people think the architecture is rather bland, but it's a successful mix of offices, shops and restaurants, built of pale stone and brick to blend with its surroundings. It's always full of local office workers and visitors (and me on my way to the gym in the basement of one of the offices). Frink's 1975 bronze sculpture was made for the 1960s development, but was relocated in the new development. It has its photograph taken nearly as often as the dome of St Paul's that looms above it.
