The Legion of Honor, part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, has an outstanding collection of about 70 sculptures by Auguste Rodin. The Three Shades occupy a place of honor in the Alma de Bretteville Spreckels gallery, named for the founder of the Legion.
I am looking forward to seeing more Rodin sculpture in Paris -- we leave next week and will be in northern France most of October.
Hope you have a great Sunday! Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

They may look like normal size leaves, but these are miniature Oak leaves growing off of that single little stem that has broken out from the trunk of the tree.
This tree is in my landscape and these triplet beauties caught my eye as I was cutting the grass yesterday.
In the house I went, grabbed my macro lens, and captured them from several angles. Here is the result.
What is it about autumn leaves that are so beautiful?!
One night in 1984, the Reverend Bernard Coffindaffer had an epiphany. God called him, he explained afterward, to erect sets of three crosses across the land to recall Christ's crucifixion at Calvary. He would raise them wherever he could and start nearby—in the foothills west of the Allegheny Mountains in central West Virginia.
I'm not sure if these three crosses are part of what he erected, because he died in 1993 and others have taken up his mission. Most of his were painted with the center one being yellow and the two flanking ones blue. Many are now falling in disrepair which I find sad. It was very foggy the day I took this photo. Anyway, seems a fitting photo for today as it's Sabbath and Anita, Maddy (grandbaby) and I are headed to Roanoke and church. Have a blessed day everyone! :)
Victor Vasarely is truly a genius, having captured this image on canvas with brush and paint in a wonderfully nuanced and harmonious way, without the use of today's high-resolution printing technology.
The painting hung high up in the stairwell of the Würth Museum, and I could only photograph it with a telephoto lens.
Here on my computer screen (press L), the image appears completely three-dimensional, with the blue areas curved concave and convex, and the red areas receding into the background. He swapped blue and black and red and black diagonally.
Dreidimensional
Victor Vasarely ist wahrlich ein Genie, hat er doch dieses Bild mit Pinsel und Farbe super nuanciert und abgestimmt, ohne die heutige, feindüsige Druckertechnik, auf Leinwand gebannt.
Das Gemälde hing hoch im Treppenhaus des Würth-Museums und ich konnte es nur mit einem Tele fotografieren.
Hier auf meinem Computerbildschirm (bitte Ansicht vergrößern) wirkt das Bild vollkommen dreidimnsional, die Blauen Flächen konkav und konvex gebogen, die roten Flächen in den Hintergrund zurück tretend (lang- und kurzwelliges Licht). Er vertauschte jeweils Blau und Schwarz und Rot und Schwarz in der Diagonale.

Three Drivers sculpture is towards the top of the 118 metre staircase known as at the Yerevan Cascade in Armenia's capital, and towards the top of it. Fine views of Mount Ararat from up here. The scultpure is by a British artist; sources disagree if he is called David Martin or Mark Voller.
The three statues are identical, just rotated differently.
These three could easily have been the models for many pub signs in the UK. But when I first spotted them they were randomly arranged. I spoke quietly to them and as if by magic they re-arranged themselves into this regular grouping. They also obligingly adopted the same compliant expression.
This wonderful silo depicts 'The Zookeeper and DRAPL's version of the legend of the Three Moon. They are 37th set of silos to Join the Australian Silo Art Trail and were completed in July 2020. The Three Moon silos (Three Moon actually being the name of the locality) is a few kilometres south of Monto, Queensland.
Legend of the Three Moon - Version 1
Three Moon Creek was named according to legend where a swagman, Aboriginal stockman or a Chinese station cook, was boiling his billy on the banks of the creek and noticed three moons - one in the sky, one reflecting on the creek and one reflecting in his billy.

There is another story also of how the name came about. The following is from Miss Caswell of Euston, Toowoomba who spent her early life in Cannindah, a place that is located very close to Three Moon.
Henry Drew Caswell died in 1887 on his Cannindah property so his son Clive Elliot took on the management of the property. At the time, some of the Aboriginals were given the job of washing the sheep. They would have been well paid and when the job came to an end, they would have been anxious to know when their services would be required again. It would have been no use telling them to come back in three months, but they were able to understand to come back when three moons had passed away.
From that time on the creek became known as Three Moon Creek.
The above story is from a letter that is from Julieanne Cripps, a descendent of Patrick McKay's partner in Cannindah Station.
The Information supplied for the first legend was supplied by the Monto Shire Council.
