Wow! Very interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteThat must be something special to see in person.
ReplyDeleteThis is at the Louvre right? We went to see it a few years back, you have brought back a lot of memories!
ReplyDeleteWinged victory is looking a bit defeated here are though perhaps her wings have been clipped and she is a bit befuddled.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Happy WW.

ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful to see such ancient treasures in person. Maybe that is where your creative art comes from? thanks for stopping & linking up. I am enjoying looking around your blog :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe old sculptures really are fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's right, PippaD! I was fortunate enough to visit family in Germany back when I was in college. We took a train to France for a couple days because I couldn't be that close and not visit the Louvre!
ReplyDeleteThe statue is amazing, and I hope all of you get to see it in person someday. Thank you for all the comments!!
