Sun Voyager Statue on a grey, rainy day. Reykjavik, Iceland. The city is a beautiful place but the rain made things rather chilly. We spent part of the day at Perlan, the Natural History Museum. An exceedingly excellent place with fabulous special exhibitions. An ice Cave at -15 degrees C, Volcano movie and then a new special big screen dive into an erupting volcano. Amazing indeed. The staff were very welcoming, Jack in particular.
Chicago - "The Bowman" - By Ivan Mestrovic
From Wikipedia:
The Bowman and The Spearman, also known as Indians,[1] are two bronze equestrian sculptures standing as gatekeepers in Congress Plaza, at the intersection of Congress Drive and Michigan Avenue in Grant Park, Chicago, United States. The sculptures were made in Zagreb by Yugoslavian and Croatian sculptor Ivan MeÅ¡troviÄ and installed at the entrance of the parkway in 1928. The pair of sculptures was funded by the Benjamin Ferguson Fund.[2]
One author said of these works, "MeÅ¡troviÄ's finest monumental sculptures are his Chicago Indians (1926â27), they are not too obviously stylized: the muscles on the horsemen are almost anatomically realistic ... These statues show how much more important true sculptural feeling is than ideology, for MeÅ¡troviÄ hardly knew anything about the ideals of the American Indians and they certainly did not move him,"[3]
An unusual aspect of the sculptures is that the figures in both sculptures are missing their weapons, the bow and arrow and the spear.
This statue sits in the terrace gardens section of Sarah Duke gardens and depending on what time of year it is surrounded by different plantings.

Nereid is a bronze statue near the civic centre of Cardiff.
'Nereid' is a name given to sea nymphs who, according to Greek mythology, are daughters of the sea god Nereus and are supposed to be friendly and helpful to sailors fighting perilous storms.
Nereid was sculpted in 1996 by Nathan David .
I love this statue in a local churchyard, and I've often photographed it. In the summer, she has a tree canopy over her, but here with no leaves on the tree and the winter sun shining on her from the side, there are some very dramatic shadows on her face. The date on the base of the statue is 1896. No wonder she's so beautifully weathered.
