France 2011 Statues at the Palace of Versailles



I am facinated with statues, as I am astounded that these figures are held inside until released in such wonderful proportions, drapped gracefully, and larger than life.




Statues linger over us, watching. Some are in places where they are rarely noticed except by the artist and God.




Gargoyles are so common they seem harmless, as this one where the functional downspout is more obvious.


These oversized settings crown the gate post upon entry or exit. Every few feet walking around them poses a new perspective to the eye, and thought to the mind.
