Britannia In The Trees

 


Britannia has sat on top of the rather ornate former bank at the end of Elland Bridge for 133 years. You might think she'd get bored, but I suspect she enjoys the ever-changing view. I've been regularly taking her photograph for the last 56 of those years. I, too, enjoy the view. Here she is on the first day of Meteorological Spring, 2026.

    Britannia looks like she has a regal spot to enjoy the ever changing views and seasons. You could do a book of your 56 years of photos of her. My family home in Wisconsin had a clear view of Lake Michigan and my dad loved that lake so much. He took photos of it in every mood and season
