Light enters and I remember who I am: he is there.
He begins by telling me his name which is mine.
.. , in the shadows of the other kingdom, there will I be,
waiting for myself.
Entra la luz y me recuerdo: ahí está...

These statues are part of an art exhibition in Budapest.
The New World Design for Contemporary Art presents almost 600sqm of the world of the Great War, which can be seen as the epoch that radically changed the world order of the time: the formerly stable empires have dissolved, culture and public thought have changed dramatically. World War II buried the old world, the result of a new world conflagration and then the Cold War. Europe was bleak in the twilight that the 20th century was dominated by America and Russia.
The exhibition takes visitors from happy peace to enthusiasm for war and bitter disappointment. It shows how the civilization of civilized and global warfare was fought, how the 19th century came to a standstill and the hinterland became the battlefield. The nature of war has changed: victory has now become a function of the amount of war material.

This is a statue at the Toledo Zoo, it is just beautiful. One of the largest and best done I have seen.

This statue is located in Hawaii (Honolulu) - i had my wife join the family as a family friend then embossed her into the image. She looks like she's having more fun than the parents but then she doesn't have to stay there all the time to mind the kids, and also she's in freakin' Hawaii man!
