Picture Stories #126 - Beautiful Sculpture

in #smartphonephotography7 years ago (edited)

I came across this beautiful piece of artwork during a walk through a lovely garden, and it instantly caught my attention due to its interesting shape and design. I'm not sure what this type of sculpture is called or what is denotes, but it does look captivating especially because of the way it was put with all the greenery surrounding it. My most likely guess is that it represents a female holding her child. Whatever be the case, I'd definitely not mind having something similar in my own garden.

We often see something new and interesting when we travel to new places, and tend to capture an image of them to look back at them with admiration and delight.

Do you like taking pictures of interesting sculptures?

Thank you for reading!

A very interesting looking fellow indeed! It looks like a soapstone carving. We get a lot of that here in Cape Town, South Africa - especially in our National Botanical Gardens - Kirstenbosch...
