Hercules

Shrewsbury, England

Taken in almost total darkness on a long exposure - the lighting of the statue came from an off camera flash positioned to the right, triggered by a radio transmitter.
This statue of hercules has been around for at least 250 years. Once at Condover Hall near Shrewsbury he now proudly presides over the Quarry park.
