- Al
- Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.

Doesn't matter, we'd of forgotten the story also, but that is a memorable statue. I'll remember it.
ReplyDeleteI love it anyway!! What a great sculpture and a great capture! Hope your weekend is going well, Al!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photograph, discovering such places it is a wonderful adventure. I am greeting
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteJust amazing turtle sculpture, Al! I guess it has a meaning about longevity...
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he has a full load on his back. Are those symbols on the pillar words? Or do they stand for something that would explain the significance? Oh well, it is a very interesting installation whatever its meaning.
ReplyDeleteStill curious I googled and here's a page that tells about turtle lore in Korean Buddhism.
