There is always a story behind a photograph and I thought it would be a fun way to look at the world of travel. So, welcome to the feature that will appear regularly in the travel section.

I love London as it is ever changing – the one place where it is always interesting to visit is Trafalgar Square. Since the Fourth Plinth has become a permanent art installation, always changing it makes it even more interesting to go to over the time there has been some that have been my favourite such as one that was a blue chicken but today we are looking at a different one I took a photo of.

Between March 2019-2020, the Plinth was occupied by Michael Rakawitz design The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist. It is a recreation of a sculpture of Iamassu that was at the entrance of Neigel Gate og Nineveh from 700BC until 2015. It is made of empty Iraqi date syrup cans.

When I took this photo, I knew nothing about the background, I just found the structure impressive. I liked how bold it was, I really liked the angle of the photograph. I like the tower of the church in the background and the slight branch that is hanging into the photograph.

I enjoy the sky in the photograph as it makes the whole photo have a boldness to it that it makes you sort of look at it more in depth to understand the story that is being told in front of you.

It feels historic as well as this Plinth does not exist anymore so it is interesting to relook at after all this time.
