Summary

One of two sphinxes at the base of Cleopatra’s Needle, London, England. The scars that disfigure the pedestal of this sphinx were caused by fragments of a bomb dropped in the roadway close to this spot, in the first raid on London by German aeroplanes a few minutes before midnight on Tuesday 4th September 1917. The base of the (overexposed) Needle is seen on the left of the picture. Taken by Adrian Pingstone in November 2004 and released to the public domain. (Sorry, SPHINX is misspelt in the filename) source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cleopatra.needle.sphynx.arp.750pix.jpg
