Cleopatra's Needle

Walking through the streets we reached this Egyptian obelisk, a little spoiled, since it was abandoned in a storm while being transferred from Alexandria, and suffered damage to the base in a bombing and perhaps pollution also caused some havoc. The obelisk accompanying two replicas of bronze sphinxes and from it you can get exceptional views of the river, the London Eye, etc ... For me Egypt was a long time ago and to see an obelisk here, gives me a strange feeling.
