Since the last time I visited the Tower of London, they’ve added a bunch of sculptures: mesh statues of the kinds of animals that used to be kept in the menagerie, and these steel-band figures of soldiers on the walls. This crossbowman is cranking his weapon on the wall walk along (I believe) the eastern side.

OOoh, now I want to see them close up and personal. (Icon is the best shot I have.)

They're pretty nifty! Less cheesy than mannequins would be (and more weather-resistant), but still giving the general idea.

I do like the icon. :-)
