Obviously three of them have an advantage but I think Kaiser was doing a fantastic job seeing it was the first time he had ever played Statues. Can you spot Milu? I missed her totally when I took the photo - lol

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.

Statues and ponds in Belvedere gardens, Vienna

The statues of John of Matha, Felix of Valois and Saint Ivan are outdoor sculptures by Ferdinand Brokoff, installed on the south side of the Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic.

Steps carved out from a cliff to facilitate access to the top of the statue .

For 125 years on this plinth stood the statue of Edward Colston a Bristol born merchant, slave trader, Tory MP and philantropist. On 7 June 2020 during a protest following the death of George Floyd the statue was toppled and pushed into Bristol Harbour.

This is a statue at the Toledo Zoo, it is just beautiful. One of the largest and best done I have seen.

I start back to work tomorrow (Sunday) so won't be on too much over the next couple of days but will attempt to keep up in my early morning and late night quick comments sessions.

Thank you all for you visits and comments. They are appreciated.

For the Ohio Zoo's group, I understand it is not an official animal but posted as I thought people may want to see it. If you would like taken out please let me know.

From the Statue of Liberty to this 101 year old coin she represents the ideal the USA should strive for. Although I have to admit the cynical side of me is thinking the dollar is what really defines my nation. HMM and thanks for your views, faves and comments.
