When hiking up the hills behind one of the many estates in #Hongkong it is very likely that one would come across some makeshift common areas like an open air gym, a communal open air tea kitchen, or maybe some type of gardening lot. Hong Kongers are as creative as any urbanites in reclaiming space and making it their own - especially in those urban/nature frontiers. Many times, those spaces seem to replace the living rooms of the locals, offering them a refuge from cramped living quarters. One more curious thing that one might stumble across are legions of #gods, or rather porcelain god statues. These gatherings are not as random as they may seem though. The statues symbolize the importance of those deities to local people and stand for disruption in their human's lives. Whether it was a move, or death those gods lost their place in their human's home. But who could throw away a deity? That is why many end up with peers in some secluded spot on the hills and mountains of Hong Kong - maybe abandoned but not lonely.

Lovely run up to Loch Earn and on to Killin.
The mirror man is back on the shores of the loch, he was removed for a few years - not sure why..
Sadly it was a grey day else he would have shone and looked even more alien like.

Image shows the metallic mirror man of Loch Earn in Scotland. Looking life sized near the shore. There's even some snow on the hills behind him too

Ivory billed woodpecker sculpt I made in Zbrush. The model features detailed feather and skin texturing along the model. I created two variants of the model, standing and posed.





The 3D model can be viewed/downloaded on my Printables page: https://www.printables.com/model/1079763-ivory-billed-woodpecker-figurine

A wander around Freshford (Pt. IX)
Bridge over flowing waters

📍Ilford Bridge, Somerset, UK

#Somerset #Thursday #Statue #Bridge #Nature #Colour
An old stone bridge with two arches and a statue of Britannia standing in the centre facing toward the camera spans over a narrow flowing river. To the right a very low stone wall is covered in lichen and moss with a grass verge next to a road. There are leafless trees in the distance beneath a blue sky.

When you’ve been around a 100 years or so, you’re bound to see a few things you’d rather forget. #sculpture #statue #pelescastle #lion

Beautifully sculpted green men on the obelisk sundial in King's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. This is one of three Victorian replicas of the 1635 Mannerist sundial at Newbattle Abbey House in Midlothian.

This #statue can be found on top of a building in #Antwerp on #Meir, the main shopping street. It was made by Belgian sculptor Emile Jespers for an electrical store and is called #Elektra or Electronica.

A low-angle shot captures the ornate top section of a grand, grey stone building against a dramatic, cloudy blue sky. The building features intricate architectural details, including multiple levels, decorative carvings, and a dark, recessed window on the uppermost section. At the very peak of the building stands a striking, gilded statue of a winged female, holding a lightning bolt aloft in each hand. The statue is illuminated against the dark sky, making it a prominent focal point. Surrounding the central tower are smaller turrets and decorative elements, some also adorned with smaller gilded figures or finials. The roof appears to be made of dark grey tiles. The overall impression is one of impressive historical architecture with a touch of dramatic flair due to the stormy sky backdrop. The lighting and angle emphasise the height and grandeur of the building.

In the "no sweat" department I've tried a long time to get a good picture of the statues of A.D. White and Ezra Cornell: I got a good one of the former heading back from Dragon Day
