Detail of an 18th century statue made by an anonymous sculptor of Lorraine. The statue is called "summer".
Light enters and I remember who I am: he is there.
He begins by telling me his name which is mine.
.. , in the shadows of the other kingdom, there will I be,
waiting for myself.
Entra la luz y me recuerdo: ahí está...

toujours dans le quartier proche de la BnF, toujours en 2012.
En traversant le pont Simone de Beauvoir, on arrive au Parc de Bercy, où se trouvent quelques belles statues.
Essai de post traitement sur celle ci.
These statues are part of an art exhibition in Budapest.
The New World Design for Contemporary Art presents almost 600sqm of the world of the Great War, which can be seen as the epoch that radically changed the world order of the time: the formerly stable empires have dissolved, culture and public thought have changed dramatically. World War II buried the old world, the result of a new world conflagration and then the Cold War. Europe was bleak in the twilight that the 20th century was dominated by America and Russia.
The exhibition takes visitors from happy peace to enthusiasm for war and bitter disappointment. It shows how the civilization of civilized and global warfare was fought, how the 19th century came to a standstill and the hinterland became the battlefield. The nature of war has changed: victory has now become a function of the amount of war material.

So you have seen one part of my garden. This is another section and we have this enormous fish statue (Marlin) near the entrance to our house. It's not mine, we are just the custodians of it and I am not sure for how long. The owner and a friend lives in Hong Kong. It raises a lot of interest when people visit us (not at the moment though) some like it and others are not sure.
Dignity (a.k.a. Dignity of Earth & Sky) is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota.
The 50-foot high stainless steel statue, by South Dakota artist laureate Dale Lamphere, depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere, the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples who are indigenous to South Dakota.
Engineering of Rapid City, SD ensured the sculpture would endure the strong winds common in the area.
Norm and Eunabel McKie of Rapid City, South Dakota announced their gift of Dignity to the State of South Dakota in 2014, in honor of the 125th anniversary of South Dakota statehood.
The statue measures 50 feet (15.24m) high, 16 (4.88m) feet deep and 32 feet (9.75m) wide. The star quilt held by the woman has more than 100 blue diamond shapes that move in the wind "like an Aspen leaf".[6]
The statue boldly proclaims that South Dakota's Native cultures are alive, standing with dignity.
