An Angel
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION!I should have researched this before I posted the photo! I just called the church, and I was told that the anchor is the official logo of the church. It is a symbol of HOPE and ties in with the name of the church itself. The anchor and rope, combined with HH (House of Hope) is frequently used with church literature.

it interests me that she has an ancor beside her. Is this a tie with the lakes?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the thought...

In Paris, I like to go to the Musée Rodin (a little museum about Rodin and Camille Claudel, my favourite, in a very nice garden, do you know it?), there is a showcase where the technique of wax and bronze is explained. Now I know a little more how the sculptor works, I look to your statue with another eye!
ReplyDeleteHere's a song that might fit nicely.
ReplyDeleteLovely sculpture
Some how very human angel.A beautiful shape.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so graceful.
ReplyDeleteNice photo, Kate. I like the background too. Nice homes and lawns.
ReplyDeleteMy post today explains about a duck's sexual habits. Not sure if I should label it with an "X" or not.
...and the sailors, I suppose?

She is lovely, I am curious about the anchor.
ReplyDeleteI just visited Torino Daily Photo who also posted a statue of an angel.
Ah, a statue with a nice street in the background.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is elegant.
ps I updated my profile as per your suggestion.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, an anchor does seem an appropriate symbol for a church. I'd never thought of that before.
ReplyDeleteah, the anchor in front of the ship/nave of the church?
ReplyDeleteI like the concept. Hope is always a good thing.
