The Gyoto Monks of Tibet are an often seen sight at many cultural events in the Byron Bay region. Seen here laughing, this particular monk escaped Tibet into India 50 years ago with His Holiness, The Dali Lama. His trademark expression and enjoying tea and biscuit, the joke is enjoyed by all at the table.

Australia was first settled by the British in 1788 as a penal colony. Many thousands of criminals, some of which were convicted of the most minor offences, were sentenced to be serve their time in Australia. This is a monument in Newcastle East to the Convict history of Australia. This image has been manipulated using a few filter effects to give it added texture and a mild neon appearance.

Not many people know it but Paris has its own Statue of Liberty, which is a smaller replica of the New York one (1/4 scale). It was offered by the American community of Paris to the French people in 1889. Taken at dusk (this is the sun not the moon!). No treatment apart from conversion to black and white.

Eiffel Tower view at night from Pont Alexandre III. Pont Alexandre III is an arch bridge that spans the Seine, connecting the Champs-Élysées quarter and the Invalides and Eiffel Tower Quarter, regarded by many as one of the prettiest in Paris. The bridge, with its exuberant Art Nouveau lamps, cherubs, nymphs and winged horses at either end, was built between 1896 and 1900. It was named after Tsar Alexander III (father of Nicholas II) of Russia. It was Nicholas II who laid the foundation stone in October 1896. The style of the bridge reflects that of the Grand Palais, to which it leads on the right bank. The construction of the bridge is a marvel of 19th century engineering, consisting of a 6m high single span steel arch. The design was subject to strict controls that prevented the bridge from obscuring the view of the Champs-Élysées or the Invalides. The bridge was built by the engineers Résal and Alby and inaugurated in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition. Classified as historical monument, four gold-covered bronze statues hover over the bridge, on the top of 17 meter columns, representing “Renommées” standing close to Pegasus.

If you have ever visited the Statue of Liberty in person, you already know she’s an imposing figure, but consider the following fun facts: Official dedication ceremonies held on Thursday, October 28, 1886 / Total overall height from the base of the pedestal foundation to the tip of the torch is 305 feet, 6 inches Height of the Statue from her heel to the top of her head is 111 feet, 6 inches / The face on the Statue of Liberty measures more than 8 feet tall There are 154 steps from the pedestal to the head of the Statue of Liberty / A tablet held in her left hand measures 23’ 7” tall and 13’ 7” wide inscribed with the date JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776) The Statue has a 35-foot waistline / There are seven rays on her crown, one for each of the seven continents, each measuring up to 9 feet in length and weighing as much as 150 pounds / Total weight of the Statue of Liberty is 225 tons (or 450,000 pounds) / At the feet of the Statue lie broken shackles of oppression and tyranny / During the restoration completed in 1986, the new torch was carefully covered with thin sheets of 24k gold The exterior copper covering of the Statue of Liberty is 3/32 of an inch thick (less than the thickness of two pennies) and the light green color (called a patina) is the result of natural weathering of the copper statueofliberty.org

What I admired most about Pere Lachaise was the sculptors’ abilities to show such deep emotion in stone. / Many statues at Pere Lachaise gave me the feeling, the stone itself could weep, or on occasion even laugh with joy. I keep trying to put statues and their emotions into the best light, to tribute to the sculptors, to show them my respect and admiration. I would love very much to honour each statue with the name of its maker. / Unfortunately, not always the makers have left trails of who they were and why they did this or that to a statue. This one is different. This is a detail of the “Monument aux Morts” -Monument to the Dead. It was done by Albert Bartholomé in 1895. / Its base depicts one large female figure watching over a seemingly sleeping couple (holding hands, faces drawn together). On their laps rests one child. / The base alone holds so much detail and feeling, so I shot mostly parts of the monument, though the whole statue deservs reverence. I will not post the whole series here, as this detail is my favourite part of it. The couple, set in stone, lovingly holding hands. Comforting and yet accompanying and giving warmth to each other. Further information about Albert Bartholomé and his life can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Bartholom%C3%A9

Many thanks to Phil (aka brummieboy) for his collaboration on this work. My initial post of the Civil War Soldier inspired the poem, which in turn inspired this work. Phil and I agreed to donate a third of the proceeds from this work to the World Monument Fund (WMF) organization for their efforts to preserve endangered world monuments. This organization was selected (with Phil’s concurrence) after my recent search for an organization that I felt is doing great work in this area, and is using the maximum amount of funds donated for actual work, and not “administrative” costs. The reason for this is also slightly, ah, shall I say selfish. As an aspiring photographer, I would love to visit the many famous monuments and structures around the world. But without organizations like the WMF those historical places may not be available in the future. I know that I won’t get to see most of the sites, but maybe this small effort will help to preserve sites for future aspiring photographers. !WMF

Statue of Liberty National Monument / A poem by Emma Lazarus is graven on a tablet / within the pedestal on which the statue stands. Emma Lazarus’ Famous Poem: THE NEW COLOSSUS Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” /
