Taken at London's Tower. The Raven is an important icon in this castle. As long as the castle has ravens, the castle will stand. Or something like that.

actually there are many legends surrounding the tower of London's ravens, one legend attributes the appearance of ravens in the Tower to the Great Fire of London in 1666. Wild ravens, were the biggest scavengers in medieval London.Allegedly after the fire, survivors started persecuting ravens for scavenging, but the royal astronomer John Flamsteed explained to Charles II that killing all ravens would be a bad omen, and that the kingdom would not outlive the last killed raven. Charles II then ordered six birds to be kept at the Tower. and since then the legend has evolved that as long as there are ravens in the tower Briton will not fall (and interesting fact during the worst parts of WWII there were only 2 ravens left in the tower) of coure as i said thats just one legend about the ravens
