@ Leh Monastery. Had hard time taking this photo, the statue was enclosed with a glass pane....
I had to go back to my guest house to bring tripod for this shot.
I saw this dirty-faced Kannon (Buddhist goddess of mercy) at a defunct junk dealer. I would like to have taken her home and given her some TLC. The "antique shop" was basically a rat's nest of trash, with a few Buddhist statues outside placed randomly along the side of the road. Nobody wants a used Buddhist statue, I guess.
Another oldie from my archives. This was taken on my trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island back in May, 2008.
Many of the Soviet era statues have been collected and put on display in a park in the outskirts of Budapest...Interesting ideological point that money is being made out of tourists going to see the statues - wonder what the communists would have thought of that?
Statue on the River Walk outside SAMA. Was a business trip, so I could only pack a small point and shoot. Did not get name of the statue.
Statue of Spencer Fullerton Baird, Second Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and "pioneer in American natural history," outside the Smithsonian Arts & Industries Building in Washington DC
I was completely surprised to see an image of this small statue posted by nedlugr. I had seen it many years ago in the very obscure Imusdale cemetery near Parkfield, CA. See Rick's image below.
This statue is found in the south east corner of St. Stephen’s Green park. The statue was designed by Joseph Wackerle in bronze in 1956. It was a gift from the German people in thanks for Irish help to refugee children following World War II. Up to five hundred children found foster homes in Ireland in a project named Operation Shamrock.
Another statue i had in my garden..Been wanting to take this one for quite awhile but never got around to it.
