*Explored*
The fourth picture in BALI IMAGES series is dedicated to YOU who have taken the time to view, comment and fave my photos. YOU have brought so much joy to me!!!
TO ALL OF YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH…☺
ps: All the views got me noticed by the algorithms that made up EXPLORE Interestingness therefore getting more people to see what I have to offer. Hopefully I have touched some lives along the way…
I refuse to believe that Interestingness is an indication of the quality of the photographs but I admit that making top 10 gets the views. YOU have all played your role towards the success of these photos. which have all, at one time or another made the top 10 interestingness list (with the highest rank listed after each photo).

The Statue of Our Lady of the Angels
The ornamental space above the pair of bronze doors contains the 8 foot image of Our Lady of the Angels. The modern figure is presented as a woman "clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet" (Revelations 12:1). The halo shaft above her head shines God's light on her as the sun travels from east to west.
Mary does not wear the traditional veil. Her arms are bare, outstretched to welcome all. Her carriage is confident, and her hands are strong, the hands of a working woman. From the side can be seen a thick braid of hair down her back that summons thoughts of Native American or Latina women. Other characteristics, such as her eyes, lips and nose convey Asian, African and Caucasian features. Without the conventional regal trappings of jewels, crown or layers of clothing, she has a dignity that shines from within.
Originally, two bronzed angels were to be placed one on each side of Our Lady of the Angels. However, the first Spanish name for Los Angeles was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora, Reina de los Angeles. Mary is Queen of Los Angeles, so the people in her city are her angels.
