A Selfie with Deacon Brodie
What! You’re looking at your phone! I imagine Deacon Brodie would be amazed at technology today. Apparently he was a “respected cabinetmaker by day and a burglar by night, making him one of Edinburgh’s most notorious historical figures”
Classical Contemplation
Jaysus, I nearly dropped me phone when I spotted this scene in the Musée d’Orsay like. There’s your man on the left, pure glued to his iPhone, probably updating his Insta or whatever, and the other fella hanging on to some pamphlet or other.

Swinging on the Moon
One of the statues at Castlemartyr Resort was this one of a woman swinging off the crescent Moon. It was quite striking and imaginative.

Human imitates statue
The Jeunesse d’Aristote is a statue made by Charles Degeorge and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Sometimes, we humans, unintentionally imitate others, even inanimate objects. Or maybe it’s just a comfortable way to sit. Degeorge captured that amazingly well in his work here.
Michael Collins and his hat
Michael Collins on the Grand Parade isn’t the only one wearing a nice hat. 🙂
Black Still Life
A statue in the middle of Whistler, Canada. I love the contrast between the black statue of the fruit and cup and the bright red of the bush in the background.
