It is well known that the lakes in the Upper Engadine freeze at an altitude around 1800 metres in winter, and I wanted to experience this for myself. I travelled there in mid-February in the most beautiful weather - and it was far too warm for the time of year! But the Lake Sils was frozen and I - like many others - hiked across it to the mouth of the Aua da Fedoz. There, however, the lake was open and formed gorgeous ice sculptures. I just had to make sure that the ice under my feet was stable enough, a cold bath would have been a bit unpleasant...
Es ist bekannt, dass die Seen im Oberengadin auf rund 1800 Meter im Winter gefrieren, und das wollte ich einmal selber erleben. Mitte Februar bin ich bei schönstem Wetter hingereist - und es war viel zu warm für die Jahreszeit! Doch der Silsersee war zugefroren und ich bin - wie viele andere auch - darüber gewandert bis zur Flussmündung der Aua da Fedoz. Dort war der See allerdings offen und bildete wunderschöne Eisskulpturen. Ich musste beim Fotografieren nur gut aufpassen, dass das Eis unter meinen Füssen stabil genug war, ein kaltes Bad wäre etwas unangenehm gewesen...

Pareidolia is defined as a situation in which someone sees a pattern or image of something that did not exist.
This small sculpture I found on a recent trip intrigued me enough to have an impromptu photo session. I'm so glad I did. The image has seized my imagination, lending itself to stories galore.
I took both the tours of Blanchard Springs Caverns in Arkansas. I'd never heard of this place, but it had huge underground rooms with lots of elaborate cave decorations like this and was every bit as good as Carlsbad Caverns. I didn't have a tripod, so I braced the camera on the railings where I could.

First of all, do not believe your eyes. It's not what you think.
This image is curious on so many levels. Undoubtedly, it is the Meyer Library on the Stanford campus, not at all where the Rodin sculpture garden is. It has no sculpture in front of it today, to the best of my knowledge. I have no idea what was going on there at that time, but I can assure you that this old scan of a color negative has not been doctored in any way.
Explored on 11/11/22 at #39. Why? It seems, just because the time came. Does not feel fair to so many others.

Autant j'aime certaines œuvres de cet artiste, dont ces mains, autant j'en déteste d'autres. Au moins il ne me laisse pas indifférente :-)
As much as I love some of this artist's works, including these hands, I equally dislike others. At least, they don’t leave me indifferent. :-)

Sculpture by Hans (Jean) Arp, Marble, 1958. Kunsthalle, Hamburg. Arp started out as a Dadaist, then developed constructionist and abstract shapes such as this delightful one. It is, of course, a photographer's joy. Fuji X-Pro1.
The Navigators Sculpture by David Kemp in Hays Galleria, South Bank, London.
The 60-foot sculpture by artist David Kemp was installed in 1987 during the renovation of Hay's Galleria, which saw the conversion of the old wharf into a shopping center. When activated, its oars move through the water at its sides. Kemp is a British artist best known for his large assemblage sculptures.
A section of a large sculpture by Henry Moore, temporarily, I would think, deposited next to Moore's Maquette Studio (Perry Green, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire). I have not yet found out the title of the sculpture and when it was made. Perhaps you can help? Fuji X-E2.
Mark Swan's bronze sculpture "Diva" at the Royal Horticultural Society Wisley Gardens in Surrey. There are plenty of sculptures in this vast area, and this one in particular, facing a pond and surrounded by benches where people can sit down and relax, produces an element of playfulness. Playfulness is important for horticulture which, at the RHS Wisley, people are a dead serious about.

The Striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum) is a small maple tree with a characteristic stripy bark. It is native to Northern America where it is also known as the Moosewood or Moose maple because moose (as well as deer and beavers) found its bark particularly tasty in winter months.

Our Hall of Sculpture was inspired by the iconic Parthenon temple in Athens, Greece. Dedicated to the goddess Athena, the Parthenon was known for its imperial scale, stunning decorative sculptures, and harmonious architectural elements. The Hall of Sculpture is modeled after the Parthenon’s inner sanctuary, or cella, which featured a double tier of columns. (From the CMoA website)
