A couple walk along the avenue to the Echo curious at the replaced statue. Most people dint realise it was a cardboard flat until they got quite close!
Do you know where the original might be now? the original was toppled and disappeared shortly after WWII. After a short stay in the basement of the house it vanished.
If you have any ideas what happened to it please get in touch and let us know so we can try and track it own.
This is Echo, Jaume Plensa’s commission for Madison Square Park, depicting a nine-year old girl from Plensa’s Barcelona neighborhood, lost in a state of thoughts and dreams. Echo is forty-four feet tall and will be at the park through August 14, 2011.
不走悲情路線 之 給王愛可
我們
共用一個枕頭
共用一個杯子
共用一台剃刀
共用一台筆電（我用來作圖，你用來睡覺）
共同經歷我的4個女友、8年歲月
我看著你從2個月大的小毛球，長成一隻表情認真的大毛怪
你看著我從青澀的大學生，變成一個風塵僕僕的青年人
你每天最快樂的時光就是我打開罐頭的那一刻
我每天最快樂的時光就是睡覺前你用大臉摩襯我
現在我要去追逐青春尾巴的夢
要暫時留你一個在台灣
希望你在另一個媽咪家也是健康活潑又好可愛
1年之後
我們又可以
共用一個枕頭
共用一個杯子
共用一台剃刀
共用一台筆電

So called because of the echo produced when one shouts in this valley. From here one can also see a glimpse of the hanging coffins.
Timeless Echoes
The Highlights of a Decade Long Musical Journey
Presented By: The Old Joes Choir
30th and 31st of August 2008 at The British School Auditorium
It has been ten years, and The Old Joes Choir has come a long way, evolving musically, and as an entity that continues to enthral its public. A decade of dabbling, experimenting and extending the boundaries and limits of sound and music has stood in good stead, enabling a group of talented and committed individuals hone and perfect something they were already good at.
It was in 1997 that The Old Joes Choir embarked upon their musical journey; a voyage that has augured well and ushered in positive change, along with a loyal audience, fans of choral music, who have stood by them through the last ten years of evolution. Thus, it is only right that The Old Joes Choir pay tribute to their loyal, unwavering fans, and their decade old journey, through a musical celebration of the last ten years.
You are welcomed to witness a unique event, involving diversity in sound and style, in celebration of a ten year old journey, as The Old Joes Choir embarks upon a voyage of rediscovery; an expedition that will strike at the very core of their musical soul. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be enthralled, as they go back to their roots to present you with our Timeless Echoes.
'Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen
Within thy airy shell
By slow Meander's margent green,
And in the violet-embroidered vale
Where the lovelorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well:
Canst thou not tell me of a gentle pair
That likest thy Narcissus are?'
John Milton (1608-1674), 'Comus'
Punished by a goddess for her constant chatter, Echo was confined to repeating the words of others. Enamored of Narcissus, the son of the river god Cephisus and the nymph Liriope, she tried to win his love using fragments of his own speech but he spurned her attentions. Passing by a stream, the beautiful youth caught a glimpse of his reflection is a stream and became transfixed by the lovely image. Believing it to be the form of a nymph, he vainly courted the watery mirage and wasted away through unrequited love. He was transformed into the flower that bears his name and Echo pined away until nothing but her voice remained.
