Copenhagen is the city on everyone’s lips. The climate change summit which aims to start to resolve the effects of Global warming by getting the governments of our world to make cuts in CO2 emmissions. We all need to focus our minds to what we all need to do to reduce our carbon foot print.The London Ice Bear is in Trafalgar Square from Friday 11 December until Sunday 20 December, slowly melting over that time to reveal a dramatic bronze skeleton.Inspired by the Arctic landscape, it’s a life-sized representation of a male polar bear in hunting pose.Everyone is invited to touch the ice sculpture. Artist Mark Coreth hopes that by touching this sculpture audiences can become sculptors themselves and make a direct connection with the bear and its icy Arctic kingdom, now under threat from man-made climate change. It will also, of course, have an impact on how quickly the Ice Bear melts – just as we can all have an influence on the rate of global warming.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, great picture!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, the skeleton does not melt ...
for memory
Bumpo! what can I say - LMAO! :)
ReplyDeleteAlerdom: Its a great illustration of how global warming is actually killing the environment and all people are doing is walking by and watching....me included!
ReplyDeleteBest to head to Covent Garden ( which is literally 2mins walk) There are great bars there. I like Jewel and Navajo Joe's.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want a bar on Trafalgar Square I would go to Albernach or the Roof Garden Bar at The Trafalgar Hotel.
The Rake in Borough Market has won the Time Out Best Bar Award. I bet the Morning Advertiser was happy to snub the news online. I predict it's going to be crowded, as it is also one of the smallest pubs in London. The Rake seats 44 people and the bar is only 13x7 feet.
ReplyDeleteThis beer was launched last year by one of the major British supermarket chains after it had won a "challenge" which presumably involved more competitors. The beer is brewed by the new Wells & Young's company; there are no pretensions about anything else. (The Special London Ale still pretends to be brewed at the Ram brewery in Wandsworth!) Thanks to Ian to holding on to this bottle for me since last year!
