Pieta, Basilique Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse, Carcassonne, France, July 2008
D. Reynolds Falls, Rickett’s Glen State Park, Pennsylvania, June 2008
Another waterfall from Rickett’s Glen–I tried to give this one something of a Platinum/Palladium treatment–tell me what you think of the conversion. There’s a lot of detail in there–so go ahead and view it large.
Flock, Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, July 2008
Statue du Roi Louis XII, Château de Blois, Loir-et-Cher, France, July 2008
This is apparently a modern copy of the original statue that rested above the main gate to the Château de Blois, the palace which dominates the town of Blois.
Château de Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, July 2008
Statue, African Art Museum, Smithsonian Institution, June 2008
The African Art museum, behind the Smithsonian Castle, is, like many museums these days, full of more empty space and home to less artifacts than I would like, but they do have some very nice pieces. In addition to being a beautiful work of art, the setting for this piece is fantastic–whoever did the interior design really did a good job here.
Meskel Light, Meskel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2008
Patriot #2, Meskel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2008
Ethiopian Patriots are those that served in Haile Selassie’s army, and fought the Fascist occupation during the time of the Second World War. There are few of these old men left, but they proudly present themselves, in uniform and the colors of their flag, at public ceremonies, remembering the liberation of their country from foreign occupation, and maintaining Ethiopia’s status as the only country in Africa that was not colonized by Europe.
