Monuments

  1. I love them both. The top image seems almost casual, which makes it all the more ominous -like it ought to be night-time with stark light, but instead it's under the even light of a cloudy sky.

  2. With the top one I thought that I was shooting the back of a statue of two nuns (or something resembling nuns). I realized later that this was indeed the front.

  4. Weird statue. Wonderful. What's it there to commemorate (statues are always there for a "reason," right? Never for their own sake)?

    In my mind it's the twins from The Shining hiding under there, and only one of them is wearing high heeled shoes.

  5. I think this one commemorates something a bit more vague.

    Winnipeg is famous for it's excessive number of monuments, this one is actually just called monument (which I discovered after I titled this post).

    The twins, yes, though the statue is about 8 feet tall, so maybe this is after they grew up. One of them drank milk with cow hormones in it and the smaller didn't.
