solid as a rock

Sculpture, perhaps more than any other art form, amazes me. How a sculptor takes stone and creates something that can be so life-like, is a process I am in awe of and find completely inspirational. Not that I think I'll ever take up sculpture, but rather what inspires me is the process of creating an end result that is so beautiful.

one of Venice's many regal lions -
did you know that the lion is
the symbol of St. Mark, the patron
saint of Venice?
gorgeous!

perhaps my favorite - ever since I saw this for the 1st
time on a high school trip to Paris!
