WW - Even more from Pere Lachaise
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Thanks, Jams! Now I've got to go look up Pere Lachaise. I'm assuming he was a member of a religious order of some such, RC? I see a distinct lack of hope, devoid of emotion other than resignation to what unpleasantness lies ahead. Extremely provoking! Okay, I'm off to "google." Thanks for making me think. I don't dig deep much any more.... ~~~Blessings~~~

a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, I am playing today.. Please check out my Shaolin Baby
Lovely and it somehow made me sad seeing their facial expressions.
ReplyDeleteThere is an incredible expressive quality in these statues. The young man in front in particular seems quite realistic.
ReplyDeleteIt has such a lifelike poignant expression. Amazing. Happy WW
