Rooster at the National Gallery

This rooster is situated on the rooftop terrace of the National Gallery of Art, East Wing. I had never seen it before, but Tim saw it on the way to work every day, so we decided to investigate. I’m not sure it comes through well enough here since it was in the shade, but that blue was downright electrifying.

A great image Helen, and the blue shows up well. Can I ask how Tim saw it and still drove safely

definitely cock of the walk here...he seems of dinosaur proportions, and so rather scary...
