Bruges, Belgium.
Bruges, the capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Its port, Zeebrugge, is an important center for fishing and European trade. In the city center’s Burg square, the 14th-century Stadhuis (City Hall) has an ornate carved ceiling. Nearby, Markt square features a 13th-century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 83m tower with panoramic views..

Freeport, Maine -- in the LL Bean parking lot. This was skillfully done with a larger blade. The wood's texture is prominent.
I enjoyed the intricacies of this building. I'm actually not sure that this was carved and not cast. Auckland museum.

El Monumento a los Descrubridores (en portugués, Monumento aos Descobrimentos) actual es una réplica del que fuera construido en hierro y cemento en 1940, con motivo de realizarse la Exposición del Mundo Portugués que fue demolido en 1958 y reemplazado por otro en materiales más nobles.
El momento escogido fue la conmemoración de los 500 años del fallecimiento del Infante Don Enrique, conocido como Enrique el Navegante, y la inauguración tuvo lugar en agosto de 1960.
Evocando la expansión marítima de Portugal en el siglo XVI, el monumento se levanta en forma de carabela alcanzando una altura de 52 metros. A ambos lados, el escudo de Portugal destaca en lo alto, mientras que sobre la puerta de entrada está grabada la espada de la dinastía Avis.
La figura central del grupo escultórico conformado por 33 figuras es, evidentemente, la de Enrique el Navegante, que en lo alto de la composición sostiene una carabela mientras parece observar horizontes lejanos. Detrás de él y a cada lado, en dos filas descendentes, se pueden descubrir personajes destacados de la historia portuguesa que directa o indirectamente tuvieron relación con la Era de los Descubrimientos.
Entre las figuras más destacadas se encuentran Afonso V (patrocinador de las primeras expediciones), Vasco da Gama (descubridor de la ruta marítima a las Indias), Pedro Alvarez Cabral (descubridor de Brasil), Fernando de Magallanes (primer navegante en dar la vuelta al mundo), Diogo Cão (el primero en llegar al río Congo), Bartolomeu Dias (primero en dar la vuelta al Cabo de Buena Esperanza), Afonso de Albuquerque (virrey de las Indias Portuguesas), Luis de Camoes (poeta autor de las Lusíadas, relato épico sobre la era de los descubrimientos), el rey Manuel I (figura central de la Edad de Oro) y Pedro Nunes (matemático y cosmógrafo cuyos aportes a la navegación fueron cruciales en la época). La única mujer en el grupo escultórico es la madre de Enrique el Navegante, doña Filipa de Lencastre.
The Memorial to the Descrubridores (in Portuguese, Monument Descobrimentos years) now is a replica of it was made of iron and cement in 1940, during the Exposition of the Portuguese World was demolished in 1958 and replaced by a more noble materials .
The timing was the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry, known as Henry the Navigator, and the inauguration took place in August 1960.
Evoking the maritime expansion of Portugal in the sixteenth century, the monument stands as a caravel reaching a height of 52 meters. On both sides of the shield of Portugal stands out on top, while on the entrance door is carved the sword from the Avis dynasty.
The central figure of the sculptural group made up of 33 figures is, of course, that of Henry the Navigator, that at the top of the composition maintains a caravel while seeming to observe distant horizons. Behind him and on each side, in two rows down, you can discover important figures in Portuguese history that directly or indirectly were related to the Age of Discovery.
Among the most prominent figures are Afonso V (sponsor of the first expeditions), Basque da Gama (who discovered the sea route to India), Pedro Alvarez Cabral (discoverer of Brazil), Fernando de Magallanes (first sailor to circumnavigate the world), Diogo Cão (the first to reach the river Congo), Bartolomeu Dias (first to round the Cape of Good Hope), Afonso de Albuquerque (Portuguese viceroy of the Indies), Luis de Camoes (poet author of the Lusíadas, epic tale about the Age of Discovery), King Manuel I (central figure in the Golden Age) and Pedro Nunes (cosmographer mathematician whose contributions were crucial to navigation in those days). The only woman in the sculpture is the mother of Henry the Navigator, Dona Filipa de Lencastre.
To make this piece, I followed a method I created around this time last year that involves cutting spaces out of a large image, pasting it on a piece of cardstock, filling in the gaps with doodles, and then collaging on top. I enjoy inventing methods of doing things, following these methods consistently, and seeing how they gradually evolve over time. If you are a fellow artist, is your process more methodical or fluid?
11/52 - Something I've Never Photographed Before (52 Weeks: The 2021 Edition)
Well, I have photographed various Native American and First Nation carved figures, but I've never photographed this one in Seattle near the Center for Wooden Boats. So yes, this is something I've never photographed before.
The Street of Facades is a row of monumental Nabataean tombs carved in the southern cliff face that lies past the Treasury and adjacent to the outer Siq., that when you pass the Treasury, the Siq begins to widen gradually as it reaches into an open area. On both sides, there are a number of Nabataean burial interfaces decorated with grindstones along with other decorations; and some of these interfaces were destroyed by natural factors, it is believed that these interfaces represents some of the senior officials in the city or princes.
