The Watchman

Ever since I photographed this art

I have called it

Blockhead,

Street Art at St Paul de Vence,

in France.

Research today tells me otherwise.

So no blocks this week.   🙂

Similar to haystacks which for many decades

I carefully built each year only to commence

pulling them down within a few weeks.

These bales do resemble building blocks, don’t they?

Tuesday-PC-Wk170-Sculpture

~~~~~~

While these two terms are related to each other, they do not mean exactly the same.
statue is a carved or cast figure of a person or animal.
Sculpture is a piece of art that is made by carving or molding clay, stone, metal, etc.
A sculpture that contains a human or animal figure can be termed as a statue.

 

I miss-defined the statue/sculpture definition,

so this is take two.

Vienna, Austria.

Avignon, France

 

St Paul de Vence,

France

Taupo,

New Zealand

Statue or sculpture.

Grouse Mountain,

Vancouver, BC.

I was going to use some

graffiti style street art

however, walked another path.

Near the

El Alamein Fountain,

King Cross, Sydney,

Australia.

The ‘Gate of Violence’

In the middle of Albertina Platz is the walk-in monument sculpture.

The Monument against War and Fascism

was unveiled in 1988 to preserve the memory

of the darkest era in Austrian history

and is dedicated to all victims of war and fascism.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge-Letter-N

~~~

My contribution for

this week’s challenge

Letter-N

(Needs to start with letter N)

Random Ns come from

Nice and St Paul de Vence

in France this week.

~~~~~

Being on the French Riviera there were still those

defying the possibility of skin cancer… 

and baring near naked bodies

to  soak up the sun’s rays.

 

Names  of restaurants were high on walls for visibility.

The name of St Paul de Vence patron saint was

at the foot of a huge statue.

From our vantage point we could

view a nearby cemetery.

Narrow streets appeared to be… 

the only type of street in St Paul de Vence.

Back in Nice novel methods…

of parking were needed.

Not sure if I hit all the

noun, verb, adjective,

requirements Cee.

My

Steps

 Travel Theme.

~~~~~

Steps from all over this week.

Some Viennese steps.

 At St Paul de Vence near Nice.

 Even the Vatican had a healthy set of steps.

 

This area of coastline is near

The Twelve Apostles

and is known as

Gibson Steps.

My destination was the Apostles so this was

only to be a brief stop.

On the day I did not see the steps

but the size of the couple on the sand

left me in no doubt that I

would not be looking for them, that day.
