Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry II

The Centennial Totem Pole, Vanier Park, Kitsilano, Vancouver

Walking in this afternoon’s sunshine and with symmetry on my mind, the Centennial Pole made a perfect subject. The pole was dedicated in 1958 as a memorial to British Columbia’s Centennial year and was carved by Mungo Martin of the Kwakiutl nation. A second pole was presented to Her Majesty the Queen and resides in Windsor Great Park.

For another view of the pole visit A Pole with a View from last summer.

Shades of Grey for Valentine’s Day

Auguste Rodin’s Eternal Spring is the perfect image on Valentine’s Day for lovers everywhere.

From a photograph I took during our visit to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art
last Sunday, together with the Museum’s description.

“The human body is, above all, the mirror of the soul, and from the soul comes its greatest beauty.”
