This piece of art golden statue was created by the Japanese artist ‘Takashi Murakami’ and placed for display at the front yard of the ‘Royal Palace of Versailles, Paris’ (2007 ~ 2010).
Takashi Murakami is a Japanese contemporary artist. He works in fine arts media as well as commercial and is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. He coined the term "superflat," which describes both the aesthetic characteristics of the Japanese artistic tradition and the nature of postwar Japanese culture and society, and is also used for Murakami's artistic style and other Japanese artists he has influenced.

Wildflowers are a passion of mine and when I see a new one such as this type of milkweed, I get all excited. I found it in a woodland setting and it grew quite low to the ground. The tiny white and pastel pink blooms are quite a bit smaller than the other milkweeds that I am familiar with. If you look closely, you'll see a few visitors amongst the blooms.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day!
So called as it was built to serve the near-by Oval cricket ground. Still has the Charles Holden styled art-deco up-lighters in place.
Smile on Saturday - Egg-cellent
I remembered I had some egg photos from awhile back that I never processed.
Handy when the memory kicks in.

……One for Sliders Sunday - a before & after is available for the interested! I’m often singing the praises of Phoneography - in particular the iPhone but I’m aware other phones cut the mustard too! Many now offer the RAW facility which allows greater flexibility to ’tweak’ and get the best out of a shot - or desirable ‘look’ you are trying to attain. All editing done was in Lightroom and the unedited shot is in the first comment box. The Shell framed oval window was spotted in the garden at Packwood house (N/Trust). Alan:-) HSS………..
