3rd - Drover 2022

Langley Hill, above Stanley Pontlarge, Glos. view map

This new drover figure (who sits watching over the road from Chipping Campden to Bath) is a replacement for the original which decayed irrevocably over the years before being replaced in 2021

Below is the original (carved by chainsaw for the Millennium) from a walk I did with Finn back in May 2009:

Nikon D850 ,AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR
1/25s f/7.1 at 24.0mm iso180 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice that they replaced it, but sad the old one decayed.

The new guy has a more comfortable seat and a canine companion. Good for him.

How nice that they've replaced the rotted one. And I do like the new hat. :)

I thought it was Churchill too!

He seems to have got a new trendier hat.

he reminds a bit of Churchill...a sturdy figure that, as is Rover the Drover beside him...that's a fine salute to unsung rural heroes...good you included some of the setting as well..
