The main character has the "Moses" look about him. Leader of the pack.

By the way did you see Academy award on TV?
I saw it on news!
I'm giving you an award on my blog.

I'm always amazed by the power of stone sculptures to inspire. They become town leaders in a way.
ReplyDeleteThere's a marvellous gentility to some of those.
ReplyDeleteI like how this meme makes us go and view life differently

There is so many different emotions and depth of character in all the faces. The sculpter knew what they were doing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these great pics with us!
Well sculpted, plenty of character on show.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos! Great post.
ReplyDeleteIs that carved into rock? What a wonderful monument it is. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeletethanks for the close up shots. now we get to appreciate the details.
ReplyDeleteI love the progress, enlarging the angle of shot, discoring each time a new character. It's like a game.
ReplyDeleteWell-done Sandy.
In my view, the Harrub Pilgrim Memorial belongs to the great artistic monuments in the world. Hermon Atkins MacNeil is a very fine artist. I am awed with the expressions on the faces of the pilgrims.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
