Black and White Sunday: Sculpture
Posted on August 15, 2015
Break it down in the world of secrets
My example for today’s sculpture theme is an alchemist sitting at the doorstep of a cafe in Bratislava. He was at the point of explaining one of his theories while I was passing by. Follow my lead, if you will, and post a photo(s) of a sculpture in black and white. Do it today or over the next six days. Happy Sunday!

Thursday’s Special: Symbolism
Posted on April 30, 2015
Four couples in love, a baby and an old man are shown as bronze figures surrounding a fountain in the centre of Zagreb.
The sculpture, whose life-size statues are evocative of Rodin’s work, shows movement and continuum of the cycle of life. Paired human figures are embracing the well, the source of life with joy and carelessness, driven by love, life’s greatest mystery and its ultimate purpose.
The central figure in Meštrović’s masterpiece is the old man at the end of his life who is contemplating the accumulated water (the life he lived) with regret.
Ivan Meštrović, the most renowned Croatian sculptor and one of the world’s greatest sculptors of the 20th century, created his “Well of Life” (Zdenac života in Croatian) while still a student in 1905. In 1912 the sculpture was placed on the square before the building of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb where it still stands.
This post is my response to guest challenge themed “symbolism” and hosted by Madhu. Please see her post and join her for this exciting challenge. Happy Thursday everyone!

Black & White Sunday: Playtime
Posted on May 18, 2014
I found these two sexy flippers in front of the Tower Bridge in London. The weather was lousy, but I guess you can’t tell from this B&W shot.
Sunday is the day when I usually post my B&W shots, but it is also the time when I visit the Cardinal’s second blog to see his latest Sexy Sunday post.
You can grab my Black & White Sunday widget and join me. Show me your B&W photos regardless of the theme.
