Peace ~ Daily Photo 14


This is a fairly new monument in the cemetery in which I walk.  I love it.  To me, it evokes the balance that seems so elusive in those contexts that bring us to cemeteries. She embraces the flowers, her face sad but calm; she faces the wind that blows her hair back and gazes quietly into . . .  whatever it is.

  2. beautiful. reminds me a statue of Mary in a church near here. She is older woman/Mary, though, one whose life is reflected in the wrinkles in her face. This one looks as if the young woman is about to dance...

  4. The expression on her face seems almost wistful - a bit like the Mona Lisa in that it can't be read easily. Beautiful statue.
