Tian Tan Buddha at Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island off the Hong Kong Airport, is an imposing sight. This 85 feet bronze statue is the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. In its presence, one is dwarfed not just in stature, but in true understanding and perception of life and universe.

Octo: Wendy Taylor, 1980 location / Stainless steel, water / Outside Norfolk House and Ashton House, on the corner of Silbury Boulevard and Saxon Gate, Milton Keynes, UK / Commissioned by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and sponsored by, and donated to, Norwich Union Insurance Group Octo was commissioned specifically for its site in Milton Keynes. Its twisting ribbon of stainless steel makes a figure of eight when viewed from one direction but changes radically as the viewer walks around the sculpture. The ribbon is based on a Möbius strip (with a double twist), a mathematical term describing a continuous surface created by twisting a long rectangular strip of stainless steel through 180º and joining the ends; the form neither has an inside nor an outside. The artist has sited the sculpture on a pool of water to emphasise its point of contact with the surface and to set up a continual play of shifting reflections as the shining sculpture reflects in the water and in the surrounding mirrored buildings. The sculpture is a memorial to Lord Llewelyn-Davis. [From MKWeb] / . / The name Octo comes from the Greek word for “eight”. The status is also locally know as “Eternity” Note: I have copied the text from the site above verbatim, but I personally disagree with one point – this isn’t a Mobius strip!

A crow sitting on the statue of a swimmer. This sculpture is suspended on a plinth some 30 feet in the air. It is on a new development by an old harbour near Portishead. I liked the way the bird was looking down at the sculpture as though passing an opinion. Nikon D60 with Sigma 70-300 Zoom.

This statue, named The Genius of Architecture is in West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland. It shows a crowned woman with two male kilted children at her feet. One shows plans for approval whilst the other kneels to apply mortar to a pillar. It represents the crowning of the theory and practice of Art. Edinburgh Castle can be seen in the background. Designed in 1862 by William Brodie 1815- 1881 (not to be confused with the infamous William Deacon Brodie) the statue was not unveiled until 1891 ten years after the artists’ death. Brodie was a prolific sculptor and is responsible for a number of statues in Edinburgh and Glasgow including James Young Simpson also in West Princes Street Gardens and the bronze statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby outside Greyfriars Kirk.
