I dropped by from "The Dreaming Tree." I love statuary. WE have some great ones in New Orleans.

Well, Halcyon said it... the angle on this shot is superbe! The blue sky background adds to the contrast of the dark bronze statue.

Bises,

Everything is done on horseback so riding all day across the land they find all kind of treasure and artifacts. these being among them. they have hundreds of skulls and they love finding deer sheds.
