WW - face
Another image from the Pere Lachaise cemetery This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday.
Hi Jams, been missing you. I guess you had to go to the cemetery to see if you had missed anything. I can't id this one. :-) Happy WW! (I've got a dumb cat on a YouTube today.) ..
Reminds me of the Dr. Who episode "Don't Blink". For a second I thought I was on Matthew James Didier's site. He's the one who always does the Dr. Who posts.
Happy WW! Remarkable beauty in that sculpture from a time past...
Thanx for your earlier visit! I invite your blog readers to see why Jenny Craig is a multi-millionaire on my WW-post this week. I gotta go do some sit-ups...
that's a beautiful sculpture. i've always thought sculptures or art that has been weathered by time and the elements have greater appeal to the senses. :D cheers!
This statue fits well into a cemetery.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW(Tue) :)
Wow, awesome shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW(T)!
The peace in her face is still apparent! Great shot, Jams.
ReplyDeleteShe was a beauty. She braved the elements. :)
ReplyDeleteStill compelling despite the ravages of time and the elements. The mark of truly great art, non?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful face. I really love this sculpture.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. My wife and I have been known to take out cameras to the cemetery on many occasions.
ReplyDeleteHubby has visited before, and I certainly hope to go one day! Your images from this cemetery are stunning! Granted I LOVE funerary art :) Happy WW :)

It's very detailed, and a bit weathered. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the corkscrew curls! Happy WW.

ReplyDeletethe face reflects so much sadness..
