BurgGurl Forum Champion Registered: Wed Dec 03 2003 Posts: 9455 Loc: Virginia USA	Here is one of my favorite sculptures. This photo is just one of numerous shots I have taken of this "Street Ladies" fountain found in a Tongeren square. I have included links to see other perspectives. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/BurgGurl/be03bc40.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/BurgGurl/38ba5108.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/BurgGurl/79171d0a.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/BurgGurl/23ee7b74.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/BurgGurl/eba40176.jpg _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

Unfortunately, by the time I got downtown several days later with my camera, some of the ice sculptures had already toppled. Several of them are still in evidence, though.

picqero Multiloquent Registered: Tue Dec 28 2004 Posts: 2813 Loc: Hertfordshire<br>England UK	Those 'street ladies' images are fantastic. I doubt if they'd be allowed in present day 'politically correct' Britain, so it's a pleasure to see them; great art! This colourful statue of St. George and the Dragon is in a Roman Catholic church in Kensington, London.

Thanks Picq, I was always drawn to them every time I visited the brocantes - especially to the one pictured. I was, and remain, fascinated by her six fingers. Not sure what to make of that... _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

There is something about them, that makes you just want to get a closer look! Simply amazing! Great shots all-round! _________________________ Agnes (JTJ) *"Whoever said, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", never had a dog." --Anonymous*

The designs were mostly based on drawings by local children. Here is another - a whale _________________________ "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Lewis Carroll

BurgGurl Forum Champion Registered: Wed Dec 03 2003 Posts: 9455 Loc: Virginia USA	Thanks Sue, I did click through and read the entire thread including the embedded link showing what Levan looks like nowadays (or least in 2004). I must have been 17 then, but in my mind's eye I can still see that massive Silverback hovering above the small child and I remember thinking how impressive it was that he protected him. _________________________ >^..^< "The big yellow one is the sun."

ClaraSue Forum Champion Registered: Sun May 18 2003 Posts: 7842 Loc: Arizona USA	Fascinating story about Jambo. It prompted me to watch the video on YouTube. I can't believe it's been that long ago already. Great sculptures everybody! This one is located at Hoover Dam on the Nevada side. There are two such figures, each 30 feet high flanking a 142 foot flagpole. They are called the "Winged Figures of the Republic" according to the artist Oskar J.W. Hansen. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.
