So its not surprise that these little hub statues are a big hit with the photography community. I have resisted the urge to shoot these mini statues but on my last trip, I had to do it. I love how you can fill the frame and get a very pleasing background with the Cinderella Castle. I hope you enjoy this shot!

A statue of "one of the most successful English football managers of all time" has been unveiled at the stadium where he made his name.
The sculpture of Liverpool's Bob Paisley has been sited outside Anfield.
It depicts a scene from 1968, when Paisley carried off future Reds captain Emlyn Hughes after he was injured.
Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore said it was a "fitting tribute" to a man who played "a huge part in the tremendous history of this club".
Paisley spent 44 years at Anfield, first as a player, before becoming assistant to one of the club's other legendary leaders, Bill Shankly.
He took over as manager after the Scot retired in 1974 and led the Reds to six league titles, three League Cups, three European Cups, one Uefa Cup, and one Uefa Super Cup in nine years.
He retired in 1983 and died 13 years later, aged 77
Statue de saint Nicolas, patron des mariniers et bateliers (et de tous les navigateurs en général), des enfants et des écoliers, des avocats et des prisonniers, et même des célibataires...
The statue of Artemis Laphria, height 1.34 m., was found in 1989 in the room with the marble pavement east of the Asklepieion. The goddess has her relaxed left leg advanced. She raises her right arm above her right shoulder to pull an arrow from the quiver, though this has been omitted by the copyist. She rests her right elbow on a tree trunk and holds a bow, the preserved lower end of which has the form of a swan's head.
Το άγαλμα της Αρτέμιδος Λαφρίας, ύψους 1,34 μ. βρέθηκε το 1989. Η θεά υψώνει το δεξί χέρι της, πάνω από τον αντίστοιχο ώμο για να ανασύρει βέλος από τη φαρέτρα. Στηρίζεται δεξιά σε κορμό δένδρου και κρατάει τόξο, του οποίου το σωζόμενο κάτω άκρο απολήγει σε κεφάλι κύκνου.
I returned to the Whitney Plantation in Wallace, La. for another tour and more pictures. This image was taken at the Field of Angels, constructed to honor the over 1,200 babies that perished on the plantation.

Gruppo del Laoconte
Si trova nel giardino del belvedere dei musei vaticani e raffigura Laoconte ed i suoi due figli Antifante e Timbreo mentre vengono strangolati dai serpenti marini
One of a bunch of small statues set near the entrance to Iwasakiontake shrine (www.flickr.com/photos/jshillaw/albums/72157681445423766). The surface is shiny, like the tiles used to construct temple roofs.
statues and busts adorning the corridors of the Uffizi Galleries was gathered by the Medici family and is made up of Roman copies after lost Greek originals.
Note the people on top of the horse head. That’s where the previous photo was taken. Today we head out into the countryside, so may not have internet.
The weather on this day was drizzly and not fantastic for touring around, but I like the way it made the statue look. Standing tall amongst the dark clouds I thought was very symbolic.
Hello Everyone!
Another one of my “must hit” recommendation for those visiting New York is a stop to Atlas Statue and St. Peter’s Cathedral. I’ve come to this spot specifically for pictures 3-4 times in the past couple of years and still can’t seem to get enough of it. I managed to get a few captures of it during some weekend shooting with one of my buddies from Miami.
Here’s some interesting background info about the statue itself:
In Rockefeller Center, directly across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral, is this two ton statue of Atlas, and the largest sculptural work at Rockefeller Center. Atlas carries the heavens upon his shoulders as punishment for defying Zeus. Designed and cast in 1936 by Lee Lawrie and Rene Chambellan, the statue's exaggerated musculature and stylized body are characteristic of the Art Deco style.
The north-south axis of the armillary sphere on his shoulders points to the North Star as viewed from New York City. Laid across Atlas's shoulders is a wide, curved beam that displays a frieze of the traditional symbols for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Adjacent to Earth (over Atlas's right forearm) is a small crescent symbolizing the Moon. Affixed to one of the sphere's rings are symbols for twelve constellations through which the Sun passes during the year.

Statue at the entrance of the Parish Church of Saint Peter
Part way up the Main Street of Mont St-Michel is the small Parish Church of Saint Peter. It blends in with the stonework all around and is easy to miss.
Dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, St-Pierre is considered the parish church of Mont St-Michel. The church is dedicated to St-Pierre, or Saint Peter, the patron saint of fishermen.
... part of a face carved into a slab of marble, located near the market in Norwich.
The carving reminds me of Michelangelo's statue of David in Florence ... flic.kr/p/j48iYT
