The apple didn't fall far from the tree -- you produced a gardener! What a beautiful space. Great pics, too.

The snowflakes whizzing past your lense add another wintery aspect. BRrrrrrrrr!

That's a beautiful photo, Kerouac. Somehow the snow adds another psychological aspect to the sculpture. Well captured!

I really like how you framed that picture.

No, Rimbaud is in Paris, directly across from the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in the Marais.

If you could peer out of this window, you could see the statue down below.

Is that window, K2, perchance in the Orsay?

Nope, that is the Pavillon de l'Arsenal at metro Sully Morland in the 4th arrondissement, edge of the Marais.

Breaking the rule about only personal photos in the Photo Bank for just a moment and hoping I don't get punished too severely for it, here is what the Pavillon de l'Arsenal looks like.

Actually, you are correct. That is the modified rule. But all rules are made to be broken from time to time.

And mods - I mean helpers - get to break the rules when they feel like it. But peons - I mean posters - don't.

War Memorial in Leicester Town Hall Square.... details... Grief War Peace after Victory and a few statues from Leicester Cathedral St George St Martin ...erm...I haven't a clue who the others are, maybe bishops or saints....

Great pictures, Cheery. I love how you framed each one. The War and the Peace ones are particularly effective with their respective, very emotional bare branches behind them.
I see three bishop's crooks in that group of statues. I'm thinking the two figures right before the bishop on the end are donors or patrons of the cathedral.

Jeez, the power of the internet - The seven central statues are (left to right) of St Cuthlas, St Hugh of Lincoln, Robert Grosseteste, John Wycliffe, Henry Hastings, William Chillingworth and William Connor Magee. The two statues at the side are of St George (left) and St Martin of Tours (right).en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leicester_Cathedral_Vaughan_Porch.jpgSt George is a good bloke, I like him particularly because of his connection with Egypt - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_GeorgeKnown as 'Mar Girgis' here and is a major part of the Coptic Christian churches in Cairo.

I've always loved this bronze...it's called 'The Seamstress' and is on Hotel Street in the city centre.
