Musée d'Orsay, Paris. This was a day where the clouds were very white and pretty boring so I make it into a dramatic black and white. I really liked those statues and I think it works great with the dramatic sky.
This statue is huge, about twice life-size. It's a bronze statue of San Valero the 4th Century bishop of Zaragoza by sculptor Palo Serrano Aguilar. Even considering the scale, his hands were gigantic.
Buddha statue
This picture is, ofcourse ,taken in the Philippines , a roman catholic country.
From the archives.
someone enhanced the statue with a traffic cone !
The Palais de justice historique de Lyon is a building located Quai Romain Rolland, on the right bank of the Saône, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon. In 1996, it was classified as monument historique
Its construction began in 1835 and ended in 1845, under the direction of architect Louis-Pierre Baltard. It was built in the same location as the previous courthouses that followed since the 15th century.
The Palais de Justice de Lyon is often called the 'Palace of the twenty-four columns'. This is one of the finest neo-classical buildings in France.
In 1995, construction of a new courthouse in the district of La Part-Dieu allowed the transfer of the Tribunal de Grande Instance, the Tribunal d'Instance and the Tribunal de commerce de Lyon. The Cour d'appel of Lyon and the Cour d'assises of the Rhône remained installed in what is now the historic courthouse of Lyon.
In 2008, the building was the subject of a profound renovation (accessibility, upgrading, security...)
There were some famous trials in this building:
August 1884: Italian anarchist Sante Geronimo Caserio, murder of President of the Republic Sadi Carnot, was sentenced to death.
January 1945: Charles Maurras was sentenced to life imprisonment and national degradation.
July 1987: Klaus Barbie was sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity during the Second World War.

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad. (Source: Wikipedia).

Seen unsurprisingly in Nottingham against the backdrop of the quite beautiful Prudential Building. Here's a link to a Nottingham Post article which says it is the most splendid Victorian building in the City - www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-opinion/nine-best-victor...
As for Clough, an eccentric genius who could get quite ordinary players to play like world beaters but he did it because of the eye for footballing talent in his assistant Peter Taylor. A film about him 'The Damned United' is an insight into the often controversial man who put both Derby County and Nottingham Forest Football Clubs on the map.
