F. Schiller, medico, poeta, filosofo e storico, è considerato uno dei più importanti drammaturchi poeti e saggisti tedeschi.
Il monumento che vedete qui a Ludwigsburg è opera dello scultore Ludwig von Hofer.
La statua fu creata in marmo a Carrara nel 1880 e la donò alla sua città natale.
Schiller nacque nella vicina città di Marbach am Neckar e trascorse sei anni della sua infanzia a Ludwigsburg.
Monument Valley is often thought to be US national park, but while its beauty certainly would qualify it for such distinction it is actually a Navajo Nation Tribal Park. It is located at the northern Arizona border with Utah. This photo was taken just outside of the tribal owned View Hotel. The area is a famous setting for numerous western themed movies.
I have previously posted a similar photo that was an HDR taken with my 14-24 mm lens and not stitched. I do like this version better as I think there is much better detail. We were so lucky with the summer cloud formations and their location within the photo. Note the vehicles on the foreground road to provide some size perspective.

... War Memorial, from the 'other side' where, if you squint a bit, you can see Heptonstall Church (on the first hill) and very tiny, Stoodley Pike (in the far distance)! I was in a fairly tight space here and would just like to apologise for not including the very top of the Monument! :-(
'To those who died for the freedom of Austria.' Met de negen provinciewapens verdeeld over het monument. En 'the eagle' aan top.

Monument Falls is small but bucolic water feature along Rte. 86 between Lake Placid and Wilmington. A nice contrast to the rocky waterfalls white water along the West Branch of the Ausable River. Click for the HiRez goodness!

You must have seen this location in countless old western movies. No not Feroz Khan movies! Think John Wayne and Gregory Peck; not Feroz Khan! One of the most iconic locations in South-West states of Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley is a destination worth all the Gold that McKenna stashed here! Go dig it!
P.S.: We used to have an evening newspaper called "Pratap" in those days. It had one whole page for ads for movies running in the various theatres in the city. They would translate the English movie's names to Gujarati & I vividly recall Mckenna's Gold was translated to "Makwana Nu Sonu!"
Southern Monument Valley just before sumset. In this photo you have Elephant Butte, Spearhead butte and Cly butte.

It was an awesome morning as the photo opportunities started about 1 hour before sunrise and continued for a half hour after.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona-Utah state line (around 36°59′N 110°6′W), near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.

The Wallace Monument was built in the 1860s to commemorate William Wallace (of Braveheart fame). It can be found just outside the city of Stirling in Scotland.
This shot was taken with a telephoto lens from inside Stirling Castle.
This small unassuming monument marks one of the landing sites in 1922 of the first round the world flight. Pontoon planes landed in Maquoit Bay and the pilots spent the night in various summer cottages. Young boys rowed out to the planes to greet the airmen. Much much later, one of those boys became a good friend. Only one of the planes survived the trip and it can be seen at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
In loving memory of Jack.

The column is a plague monument in Trinity Square in the castle district of Budapest next to St Mathias Church.
The square is named after the Trinity column (Szentháromság oszlop), a large plague column that was built between 1710 and 1713 to a Baroque design by Philipp Ungleich.
The column was built to celebrate the end of the plague and citizens hoped that it would protect them from another epidemic. The sculpture at the top represents the Holy Trinity. It sits on a sturdy pillar decorated with statues of little angels and - below - large statues of saints. The column rests on a large pedestal adorned with bas-reliefs and the Hungarian crest.

This was taken in 1990 on film and I just recently scanned it. This is pretty much straight from the camera. Only some dirt removal and level adjustment on the bottom of the picture

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

I just want to wish a fond, farewell to all my flickr friends. Looks like I 'm moving on to bigger and better things. I just got an email from the president of a large bank in Zimbabwe. I don't even know how he got my email address, but apparently this is my lucky day! It turns out that some very wealthy person there has died in a plane crash and has no heirs to leave the money to, so the bank has temporary custody of his millions of dollars, but they are not allowed to keep it. They just need someone in the United States to give the money to. All I needed to do was to wire them $3000 for processing fees, which obviously, I promptly did. So, now that the processing fees have been paid, I should be receiving a check for five million dollars sometime next week. I'm going to be quitting my job tomorrow, as I sit here and anxiously wait for the arrival of my check! This is so exciting!
Anyway... This was from Monument Valley, last month. It's the famous Mittens. Well... It's one of the Mittens, anyway. Not sure where the other Mitten went. I think it may have been out being repaired that day.
