This type of bisque figure was popular at the end of the 19th century. Mass produced in Germany and Britain they are usually well made but not that popular in modern homes.
They usually came in pairs, The young lady would have had a equally elaborate beau.
. ... Le moins qu'on puisse dire est que l'auteur de cet ornement de fontaine n'était pas un artiste improvisé.
. ... Taillée dans un bloc de marbre des plus purs, cette figure est une chimère réunissant plusieurs attributs mythologiques dont on retrouve la symbolique dans beaucoup d'oeuvres d'art des châteaux de la région lorsqu'ils sont en bordure de Garonne : un élément bacchique dans les graines de raisin disposées sur un côté de la tête (rapport à la vigne, pour principale richesse de la région), un rappel neptunien, dans les nageoires qui prolongent le bas des joues (le commerce du vin passait par la navigation sur la Garonne), un symbole faunesque (les cornes de bélier), pour rappeler s'il en était besoin, combien dans ce contexte de libation, il est cependant important de pourvoir aussi à la descendance... (l'idée de bacchanale n'est pas loin, car il y a toujours eu un lien entre la vigne, le vin, l'ivresse et la sexualité)...

I've recently worked for Dentsu www.dentsulondon.com/blog/2010/09/28/sound-sculptures/ to make an advertisement for Canon's new printer. I traveled to London to set up my water figure system for high speed video and I did stills for within store and bill board advertising. Thank you Frans for your inspiration and invention www.flickr.com/photos/fotoopa_hs/.

When I took this photo a few weeks ago, I had actually forgotten that the Olympics were coming up (oops!). Once I realized, I decided to save it for now :-)

The vampire series is over, so I figure it's about time I started posting some "normal" pics, lol!
This is from my archives, and was taken at a local park by the river in Holly Hill, Florida, just north of Daytona Beach. Late afternoon, just before sunset, is my favorite time of day. The way the sun lights up the foliage and paints the clouds with color is hard to beat. Although many of you have beautiful sunrises where you live, here, it's the sunsets that are impressive, even if they aren't over the water!
The Daytona Beach area is on Florida's east coast. The closest place we can find to see the sun set over the water is at the inlet, where the river and ocean merge, but it's not quite the same as seeing it over the ocean. The sun sets over the river when viewed from the east, but not on the horizon. There are always trees and such behind the water. We get the sunrises, but the shades are much softer and more pastel usually, so not as dramatic or vibrant. The indirect sunrise effect over the river or beach is still stunning, and the clouds usually make up for anything lacking in not seeing the actual orb of the sun.
Happy Fence Friday, Everyone!
Just for the record, I am SUPER sick of Flickr's glitches! Today it's the I can't change my icon and it took 5 tries to change the image on my page, too problem! Lately, it's been everything from uploading issues to triple spacing when you send a Flickrmail! I hope the Smugmug guys get this junk fixed soon! Paying more for the privilege of being constantly annoyed isn't going to cut it. AND while I'm on that topic, how about lifting the ban on some of us who can't get a photo into Explore to save our souls simply because we've used vignettes or framing! It's been about 6 years since my 263rd Explore pic made it in. Nothing since then. There's no one to ever complain to, either. Grrrrrrrrrr..... Okay. Got the pics changed. What's next?

Figure of 8 Pool, Royal National Park, NSW
On the weekend I headed out to shoot Figure of 8 pool in Royal National Park. It was the result of months of planning, as the rock shelf in which the pool is only accessible at low tide, and we wanted this to coincide with sunrise for nice light, and then we had to work out how to get there! It is a great feeling finally arriving at a location and shooting it after the effort put in to get there.
Pangong Tso, Tibetan for "high grassland lake", also referred to as Pangong Lake, is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4,350 m (14,270 ft). It is 134 km (83 mi) long and extends from India to China. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in China. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its broadest point. All together it covers 604 km2. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. It is not a part of Indus river basin area and geographically a separate land locked river basin.
Pangong Tso can be reached in a five-hour drive from Leh, most of it on a rough and dramatic mountain road. The road crosses the villages of Shey and Gya and traverses the Chang La, where army sentries and a small teahouse greet visitors. The road down from Chang La leads through Tangste and other smaller villages, crossing a river called Pagal Naala or "The Crazy Stream". The spectacular lakeside is open during the tourist season, from May to September.
An Inner Line Permit is required to visit the lake as it lies on the Sino-Indian Line of Actual Control. While Indian nationals can obtain individual permits, others must have group permits (with a minimum of three persons) accompanied by an accredited guide; the tourist office in Leh issues the permits for a small fee. For security reasons, India does not permit boating.
Pangong Tso is in disputed territory. The Line of Actual Control passes through the lake. A section of the lake approximately 20 km east from the Line of Actual Control is controlled by China but claimed by India. The eastern end of the lake is in Tibet.
The Khurnak Fort lies on the northern bank of the lake, halfway of Pangong Tso. The Chinese has controlled the Khurnak Fort area since 1952. To the south is the smaller Spanggur Tso.
On 20 October 1962, Pangong Tso saw military action during the Sino-Indian War, successful for the Communist People's Liberation Army.
Pangong Tso is still a delicate border point along the Line of Actual Control. Incursions from the Chinese side are common.
