Eyes Westward by shaneran
This statue is found at the end of Parley Street of the Historic Nauvoo District in Illinois. The street ends at the Mississippi River where there is this statue with Joseph Smith pointing the way westward to Brigham Young. Nauvoo Historic District was listed among the National Historical Landmarks of Illinois on 10-20-1966 The inscription at the base of the statue reads: / Eyes Westward / “To your tents O Israel” On the anniversary of the 200th year of the celebration of the birth of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and the 175th anniversary of the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, this monument of His prophets Joseph Smith and Brigham Young has been erected. / In Nauvoo the saints heard the ancient rallying cry, “To your tents, O Israel”. In sublime faith and trust, such as history rarely records, they obeyed, ready to follow their leader where ever he might direct their pilgrim feet. The scenes of wagons, families and livestock would be impossible to adequately describe, and unless you were there, impossible to fully comprehend the hardships those sweet early saints endured. / The first wagons left on February 4, 1846. This early departure, brought on by increased mobocracy, subjected them to gale forced winds, torrential rain, snow, subfreezing temperatures, and axle deep mud. Most of the saints were poorly prepared for this epic journey. Many were city dwellers from the eastern United States and England, skilled in many crafts, but unaccustomed to the feeding and harnessing of horses, oxen and mules, driving wagons and herding livestock. Through much work, sacrifice and prayer and under the inspiration of Heaven and their inspired leaders, these faithful saints completed their journey west and arrived in the Salt Lake City Valley on July 24th 1847. / To those early saints whom we love, honor and cherish; may your names be forever remembered.

Modern Ancient Timepiece and Calendar by Ian Ker
New public art in Nürnberg, Germany, tells the time (when the sun is shining) and also the season of the year (by the length of the shadow cast by the sundial structure itself at noon. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day when I was there, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. The eagle-eyed pedants among you might spot that the centre time is 1pm not midday. This sundial is a ‘modern’ one, and is adjustable for summer time – so you can put your sundial forward as well as your clocks.

A Model For Lincoln by Cora Wandel
This is a six-foot-high plaster model of the famous statue of Abraham Lincoln seated in the Lincoln Memorial and was created by the statue’s sculptor, Daniel Chester French, as a working model to build the statue from. Work began on the now world-famous seated statue of Lincoln in 1915 and several plaster models were created showing Lincoln in different poses, including standing. When the final design of the seated statue of Lincoln was decided upon, it was to be twelve feet high and made of bronze. But eventually Henry Bacon, the architect of the Lincoln Memorial building, felt that the statue needed to be larger in order to fit within the enormous size of the building and be visible from a distance through its columns, so the plans for the statue changed and the finished statue is over nineteen feet high and is made of Georgia marble instead of bronze. Architectural experts feel the adjusted size of the statue fits perfectly in the vast space of the Lincoln Memorial and that the change from bronze to marble makes the statue more visible from a distance through the tall white columns it sits behind. The statue opened to the public on May 30, 1922, the date the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated. Former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft presided over the dedication, and in attendance was Lincoln’s only surviving child, Robert Todd Lincoln. The plaster model of the statue was photographed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. where it is part of a multi-faceted exhibit honoring the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12, 1809. Thank you to the groups “Canon DSLR” and “Statues and Such” for featuring this photograph. The Lincoln Memorial has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 15, 1966. Camera: Canon Rebel XTi 400D / (ISO: 1600; Tv: 1/60; Av: 4.0; Lens: 17-85mm) This photograph is “as is” from the camera, there was no post processing.
