I have a friend who, when she still lived in the same town, took care of me having art in my house. She gave me this African statue. I feel bad about the missing bit here but can't remember if it came like this or if it broke when someone in the house (whose name I won't mention) dropped it. The piece you see here is about 2 inches long.
HMM!
Ćvre torv is located east of Kristiansand cathedral in RĆ„dhusgata's axis. Kirkegata delimits the Upper Square to the Lower Square in the southwest and Kristiansand Town Hall faces the square in the northeast. In the south-east, the square is bounded by a number of buildings that house municipal offices, including the former fire station and the former city center building of the Friends of the Fatherland. Northwest of the square is Wergelandsparken. The term "town hall square" characterizes Ćvre torv. The upper turf is covered with old cobblestones that came to light when the asphalt was removed.
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.
I start back to work tomorrow (Sunday) so won't be on too much over the next couple of days but will attempt to keep up in my early morning and late night quick comments sessions.
Thank you all for you visits and comments. They are appreciated.
For the Ohio Zoo's group, I understand it is not an official animal but posted as I thought people may want to see it. If you would like taken out please let me know.
