The Stations 1 by RRoca
One of the sculptures depicting the stations of the cross at the gardens of the Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal in Montréal, Canada. I had to climb on a rock to get this angle since there were too many tourists in front of the sculpture. I also thought at this angle it focused more on Mary’s pain. (I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear here.) The fact that Jesus’ face is covered by the shadows of the leaves was really a complete surprise. Camera: Pentax K200D / Exposure Program: Manual / Exposure Time: 1/125 / F-Stop: f/4.50 / ISO Speed: 100 / No flash

who needs a lensbaby by jo beerens
Get yourself a second hand fast (f 1.X) old manual 55mm lens and a converter for your camera if needed and let the fun begin. At f 1.4 the depth of field is really shallow and you get great bokeh. Limburg, the Netherlands / Panasonic G1 with Olympus OM 55mm f 1.4 / / Have a look at my other photos. For example: Or browse through one of my categories: / animal / building / cemetery / church / damselfly / dragonfly / drop / fall / flower / france / insect / leaf / light / macro / nature / other / reflection / water / winter

Rapa Nui by Bezay
You would think Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean… yes? Nope this is in Hunt Texas, west of Austin. this Statue is at least 20 feet tall and a smart likeness to the original. Did a time exposed shot at night and loved the shadows and stars. No one is really sure what happened to the Rapa Nui or even sure how they were able to construct or erect thousands of these statues all around the island. One thing is certain, one of two hypothesis, they were fervently religious or two, they were driven by a dictatorship

H-K241 by hsien-ku
You are used to these blanched dim corridors, / you are used to the king / who passes you without speaking. The other one is different / and you almost remember him. / He says he is singing to you / because he loves you, not as you are now, / so chilled and minimal: moving and still / both, like a white curtain blowing / in the draft from a half-opened window / beside a chair on which nobody sits. (Margaret Atwood)

Greyfriars Bobby by Tom Gomez
Immortalised in a small statue just at the top of Candlemaker Row in Edinburgh, Scotland, the story of the Skye Terrier (Greyfriars Bobby) is world famous. Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman, and the two were inseparable for about two years. Then, on the 15th February 1858, Gray died of Tuberculosis. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby is said to have spent the next 14 years sitting on his master’s grave leaving only to eat. When the winter weather was realy bad, Bobby would spend the night in one or other of the houses around the Kirkyard. Greyfriars Bobby, Scotland’s most famous dog, is not forgotton. After Bobby’s death, the President of the Ladies Committee of the RSPCA, Baroness Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, asked the City Council for permission to erect a granite fountain with a statue of Bobby placed on top. A statue was commissioned and sculpted by William Brodie 1815- 1881 and unveiled in November 1873 opposite the Kirkyard, on the corner of Candlemakers Row and King George IV Bridge. The statue of Greyfriars Bobby is an Historic Scotland Category A Listed monument (HB Number 27899).

Poseidon's Temple by Vanessa Barklay
Here is something I have never done before, used photos from istock (water) and the public domain (Poseidon & Sounion Temple) to create an image I wanted. I wanted to make this as a base for another work, so before it turns into Atlantis, here’s Poseidon’s Temple.

Fire & Ice by bdazzled
MCN :: CNNFG-5MH45-19DF4 / Some say the world will end in fire, / Some say in ice. / From what I’ve tasted of desire / I hold with those who favor fire. / But if it had to perish twice, / I think I know enough of hate / To say that for destruction ice / Is also great / And would suffice. Robert Frost /

The Madonna of Gorge de Galamus by HELUA
A deep cave in the Gorge de Galamus has been used as an heremitage and a church. Nearby there is a well where has been placed a kneeling Bernadette meeting the Holy Mother. Small votive sculptures are placed on natural shelves of the cave walls. This is one of them. Many stone plates along the walls with the word “merci” bear witness of prayers fullfilled.

About This Group
Sister Groups:
Garden Sculptures and Ornaments A brand new group to show off good garden finds!
Town Giants Every town has it’s giant something….here is your spot!
Knick Knacks This is a group for knick knacks of any kind.
Hello everyone and WELCOME!: Please check the forum and leave any ideas and preferences you have about groups and group participation. We don’t want to pester everyone with bubblemails so lets try to keep active communication going here where we can all participate in the creation of this group. Welcome Thread
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you have a beautiful carved fountain? A stunning cemetery angel? A bronze statue of a local hero? Then get out there and photograph, draw or paint them and share your work with us. Digitally altered drama is also welcome. As long as your piece started as a man made object you can let your imagination roam.
It would be very nice if you would include a description of your piece and where it is located. (example: Lithuanian Statue, Friendship Gardens, Thunder Bay Ontario Canada)
It would be even nicer if, when you add something to the group, that you took the time to comment on or view at least a couple fellow artists work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The icon of the group will be the latest challenge winner. The first 5 featured members will be the winners of the latest contest. The last 2 will be the top 2 from the last contest. So contests will dictate the logo and the featured members. The daily features will be chosen 6 per day at random so everyone, once chosen, will get 2 days on the front page. We’re waiting until art is back a few pages before featuring them since it will give them new life. Phew! That is a thought jumble….So Congratulations and be sure to give kuddos!
