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.

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.

The Sun Singer statue at Robert Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois. Robert Allerton commissioned the Sun Singer statue after seeing the original by Swedish artist Carl Milles, in Stockholm, in 1929. The sculpture is a bronze incarnation of the Greek god Apollo and stands almost 16 feet tall (not including the circular base), atop a pedestal at the west end of the park. Glorious at this time of day! WINNER The First Things group’s Valuable Statues Challenge, May 2009.

First snow this year / Photo made in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands – Oranjepark *Music kiosk in the snow… as if time stood still… * My first snow pic this year – maybe ever … At least, I can’t remember I ever made snow pics, so if I did, they were not worth keeping or remembering… / This one turned out blue by accident really … I had forgotten to reset my white-balance settings. – happy accident. / I did desaturate the blue quite a bit, and did some sharpening on it… No further post-editing :)

The Big Wheel on Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. The wheel is part of the Christmas fair which appears every year at the end of November. Behind the wheel is the monument to Sir Walter Scott. It was built during 1836-46. The architect was George Meikle Kemp (1795-1844), a joiner who entered the competition under a pseudonym to avoid prejudice; the joiner/architect sadly fell into the Union Canal in the fog and drowned before the work was completed. On the left is Princes Street and on the right is the Balmoral hotel. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Edinburgh and Lowland Scotland or see my Edinburgh Calendar.

Shot from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. looking over at The Washington Monument. Cora, Anne-Marie ( 2 other redbubblers )was so kind to brave the early hours of the morning with me, we meet at 5 AM to get here to shot the sunrise over the nation’s capitol building…. only to watch it rain on us. As I sat there trying to stay dry, I looked up over to the Washington monument and saw Cora’s shadow on the pillars.. so I thought I would try this shot, there would be no sunrise to watch this morning. The Lincoln Memorial and the Washington moument is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. / canon 5D mark ll / canon 33mm / f/4 /

While meandering through city parklands recently looking for something suitable to photograph, I saw this marble memorial in the distance with what appeared to be a life-sized statue adjacent. As I got closer it became apparent that it was no ordinary figure…....it was a magnificently sculptured bronze angel bearing a palm branch and standing on the steps. The building itself did not seem imposing and the sculpture, although the main feature to my way of thinking, seemed like a most effective afterthought. It was a dull day so I returned another time when the light was better and shot it handheld from different angles. That’s my hat on the steps and was deliberately placed to counterbalance the composition and add a visual distraction to the strong prescence of the main subject…....what I now refer to as my ‘Dark Angel’. Some post editing was done to cause a slight colour shift and some vignetting added (it is not hdr tone-mapped). The monument is in Angus Gardens, Adelaide – South Australia, was erected in 1915 and attributed to WR Cotton. It is dedicated to George Fife Angus and John Howard Angus, pioneers, pastoralists and philanthropists.

IMAGE FEATURED IN STATUES & SUCH This piece, which is very special to me, represents a woman kneeling over a grave of a loved one. It was taken in Paris, Ontario at Sacred Heart Cemetery. As always I’m aware of the work I post in relation to the mood and day I’m having and this piece titled FAITH is something I feel is needed today. Thank you for stopping by and browsing my gallery.

Beneath the Sanctuary is the Crypt containing a bronze statue of a father and son, representing the two generations who served in the two world wars. Around the walls are panels listing every unit of the AIF, down to battalion and regiment, along with the colours of their shoulder patch.

(1884 – 1886) Client: People of France / Author: Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi / Height without stand: 46.05 meters / Height with Pedestal: 92.99 meters / Weight: 27,000 tons Located on Liberty Island, which bathes the Hudson River and approximately 2.5 kilometers away from Manhattan, the famous Statue of Liberty stands as a splendid symbol of freedom to doubt the whole world. Frédérick-French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, was commissioned by the French authorities to carry out this giant sculpture that donate to the city of New York to mark the centenary of the Independence of the United States in 1886. The structural engineer Maurice Koechlin, author also of the structural design of the famous Eiffel Tower, build the skeleton to form the basis for the French sculptor carve the 350 pieces that make up the work. The sculpture was built in France at the workshop in 1884 and dismantled for parts arrive by ship to New York in 1885. The famous drawing (Skyline) today offered the city’s skyscrapers of Manhattan, can be seen also from the island itself. The 350 copper panels have a thickness of 2.37 mm each and are the material of the huge sculpture, along with steel internal structure that supports it. A museum is located inside the pedestal that would fund various sources of the United States of America. Corrosion caused by the weather of the place, is offered by the green color characteristic of the statue. In 1984 the Statue of Liberty would be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The famous statue would be inaugurated on 28 October 1886, and today is a symbol of the island of Manhattan. The statue holds in her right hand a torch covered in gold. In his left hand the statue holds a table with the inscription "July IV MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1,776), the day that America declared independence. ESPAÑOL Cliente: Pueblo de Francia / Autor: Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi / Altura sin pedestal: 46.05 metros / Altura con Pedestal: 92.99 metros / Peso: 27.000 toneladas Localizada en la Isla de la Libertad que baña el río Hudson y a 2.5 kilómetros de distancia aproximadamente del sur de Manhattan, la famosa Estatua de la Libertad se erige espléndida como un símbolo indudable de libertad para el mundo entero. El escultor francés Frédérick-Auguste Bartholdi, recibía el encargo por parte de las autoridades francesas para la realización de esta gigante escultura que donarían a la ciudad de Nueva York con motivo del Centenario de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos de América en 1.886. El Ingeniero estructural Maurice Koechlin, autor también del diseño estructural de la famosa Torre Eiffel de París, construiría el esqueleto que serviría de base para que el escultor francés esculpiese las 350 piezas que conforman la obra. La escultura fue construida en Francia en el taller en 1.884, y llegaría desmontada por piezas en barco hasta Nueva York en 1.885. El famoso dibujo (Skyline) que ofrecen hoy día los rascacielos de la ciudad de Manhattan, puede ser observado también desde la propia isla. Los 350 paneles de cobre tienen un espesor de 2.37 mm cada uno y son el material empleado en la enorme escultura, junto con el acero de la estructura interna que lo sostiene. Un Museo se sitúa en el interior del pedestal que financiarían diversas fuentes de los Estados Unidos de América. La corrosión provocada por la climatología propia del lugar, es la que ofrece el característico color verde de la estatua. En el año 1.984 la Estatua de la Libertad sería declarada por la UNESCO Patrimonio de la Humanidad. La famosa estatua sería inaugurada el 28 de octubre de 1.886, y a día de hoy es todo un símbolo de la isla de Manhattan. La estatua sostiene en su mano derecha una antorcha recubierta de oro. En su mano izquierda la estatua sostiene una tabla con la inscripción “July IV MDCCLXXVI”, (4 de julio de 1.776) , día en el que los Estados Unidos declaraban la independencia. © José Miguel Hernández Hernández
