Sculpture
Fountain nymph
One of three nymphs surrounding the base of a fountain at El Monte Sagrado in Taos, New Mexico enjoys the late afternoon sunlight of an Autumn which has brought out the colors in her courtyard.
Selket
A small plastic copy of the half-life-sized original from King Tutankhamen’s tomb reveals a form not intended to be seen by mere mortals.
bridge of lions
The bridge connecting St. Augustine, Florida to Anastasia Island across the bay was built in 1927 gets its name from the pair of Italian marble statues on pedestals on the St. Augustine side.
Detroit Deco
Even the upside-down, rusting hulk of a 1930s touring car found along a dirt road on the side of a mountain in Pinos Altos, New Mexico, becomes an appropriately Deco modern sculpture with a little study.
Socorro arch
East of I-25 in the middle of the New Mexico desert near the north end of the Jornada del Muerto along the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro stands this immense sculptural arch, Greg E. Reiche’s “Camino de Sueños”, or the “Road of Dreams.”
Bugling elk
Another sculpture from El Monte Sagrado in Taos, New Mexico, this elk is oblivious to the misty Autumn morning as he forlornly calls for a mate.
Norwegian Lady
A bronze copy by Ornulf Bast of the figurehead of the Norwegian barque Dictator, which was lost in a storm in 1891, stands in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where the original stood until it was damaged in a hurricane. The figurehead was salvaged from the wreck and placed as a memorial to the seven people who lost their lives in the wreck, including the Captains’ pregnant wife and young son. She looks across the Atlantic to where another copy stands in Norway.
