Bombing in London September 15, 2017

A 10-meter-tall bronze sculpture, commissioned in 2009 called "The City Wing" by Christopher Le Brun.

Constantly passing-by this work of art to and from work, I've always thought of one day taking a photo and perhaps make a bit of research on who was the person who made this, it stands among these modern buildings in one of the oldest part of London...located at the south end of Threadneedle Walk at the junction with Old Broad St. 

This can be seen from number 8 or 388 buses coming from Liverpool St. towards Oxford St. I don't know the other buses but there are others that pass along Threadneedle St.

Another bomb today

Night shifts can be so busy where the outside world can be non-existent. In our world, a 12-hour shift can pass-by quickly, where all that matter was to save a LIFE. This regardless of age, sex, religion, race or nationality.

Other people have another idea. They want to kill. Using a bomb. In a tube station. In the busiest hour of the day. 

Unaware of this occurence this morning after our night shift, the norm was to go and have breakfast if we wouldn't have to go back to work for another shift. In the bus and checking my messages in whatsapp after 10 AM, our other colleagues last night were checking each other's whereabouts. I couldn't really say I was strolling and taking photos on my way to my bus stop in Liverpool St. Nor could say "I'm safe" either as I had another 20 minutes or so before I reach home.

I thought it's that of an angel...

I honestly thought that this is an ANGEL's WING, that it's installation will somehow give a person HOPE, having a thought that an angel is out there somewhere, protecting the people. An angel in our midst kind of thought. Well, that's me anyway, each time I see it.

But not anymore.

This sculpture represents the wing of a bird. Sorry.

A bit subdued in the bus, this bombing this morning is not the first in UK, nor bombing was the only way of terror that have been happening lately nor in the past. 

No one feels safe now anywhere. I was just glad I got home safely. And the kids were already in school when it happened.

This won't be the last in London. 

But I have the faith that each individual have his/her own guardian angel. They are there to watch over us, whether we like it or not.

Both images are mine, taken this morning with my Samsung Galaxy S7.
