J'ai conservé dans mon coeur le velouté mauve et or du papillon qui danse toujours devant mes yeux d'enfant;
Il est bel et bien demeuré mon seul maître.
Dans les jours sombres, il vole à mon secours.
Ce beau papillon de la joie.
J. Vernet
When observing this sculpture, it's like a reflection of life. I look at his head and there are all kinds of reflections on it, yet it represents music, a calm song. The kind we all search for when life is busy, we all need a moment, just like the sculpture.
Three piece sculpture (bronze) by Henry Moore, 1968/69. Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Perry Green, Hertfordshire. 7Artisans manual lens; processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra.
First of all, do not believe your eyes. It's not what you think.
This image is curious on so many levels. Undoubtedly, it is the Meyer Library on the Stanford campus, not at all where the Rodin sculpture garden is. It has no sculpture in front of it today, to the best of my knowledge. I have no idea what was going on there at that time, but I can assure you that this old scan of a color negative has not been doctored in any way.
Explored on 11/11/22 at #39. Why? It seems, just because the time came. Does not feel fair to so many others.

Shot at the HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON
.
According to the ancient Greek myth, Apollo mocked Eros, who decided to take some revenge on the God of music, poetry and the arts, so he shot him with the golden arrow of passionate love, while he shot the nymph Daphne with the arrow of hate.
Apollo pursued Daphne who ran away from him. When he finally reached her, she begged her father Peneus to have the Earth take her in so as to escape the embrace of the passionate God. She was so turned to a gorgeous plant, taking root in the ground, the plant Laurel. Apollo was heartbroken but swore to hold her forever, wear her on his head, hence the poets and artists were crowned with laurel leaves, φύλλα Δάφνης.
Apollo rendered her evergreen, her leaves never decaying.
This is a copy of the famous sculpture by the Italian sculptor Bernini. Daphne is turning into the laurel tree, as Apollo is touching her.

It is also one of the statues decorating the gorgeous HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON palace on sl.

This dolphin sculpture is made from recycled trash found along the beaches and shorelines in the surrounding area. It is part of an exhibit commissioned by the Texas State Aquarium from local artists and groups to highlight the problem of litter, especially on the very busy beaches. To us it is just an eyesore, to sealife it can be life ending.
