I needed a break from the lab and to breathe some fresh air, so today I took a stroll up to the MBA (Marine Biological Association) to buy tickets to the Murder Mystery night being held up there in 2 weeks as a fundraiser for the MBA Common Room. Fortunately, it was another sunny day in Plymouth and so it was very pleasant walk through town, despite numerous chavs out and about. The MBA is situated on The Hoe, which has many war memorials and the above is one of them. Although the angle at which this photo was taken makes it impossible to read the plaque on the front of the memorial, it says nothing about why the angel is trying to kill an eagle(?) with a knife and how that relates to the men lost at sea. Strange what some people think represents a tribute to the dead. The wall in the background with the cannons on top is part of the Royal Citadel, built in 1666, which partially surrounds the MBA.
