Doctor Livingston I presume ?


Picture shows a Congolese man taking a photo on his blackberry of his friend next to the newly unveiled statue of Stanley with artist and sculptor Nick Elphick to the right of picture

Great to see the unveiling of the statue go well today ( many people were worrying about protests )  . I hope people now respect the artwork and do not deface it even if they do have opposition to the man himself  

Artist Nick Elphick has done a great job , lets hope this statue stays in good repair for generations to come 

This pic says it all about today really with just as many cameras as there were people , below are a few links if you wish to learn more about the great explorer  :
