The davinci horse poster and the orchestra are my favorites. Scultpures are interesting to shoot I think because they're usually less colorful and they're still. But I think you do a fine job of representing them well by giving them more life and dimension through your photos!

More great shots, lidljo! I like your daisy poster, the spider statue, and, of course, Da Vinci's horse. Da Vinci, worked on the statue for the Duke of Milan but, after 17 years, only got around to making a life size clay sculpture which was destroyed by the French. Some guy here in the states finally made it into a statue, about 500 years later, I think they sent one to Italy also. This is being dredged from ancient memories so don't think you can pass the test without studying.

I visited Meijer Gardens last year Loweho, and I'm pretty sure the info cards back up your memory. If you're wrong, it's not by much. Someone better warn that lady in the DaVinci poster...she's about to get stepped on!

Nice photos. Are you sure the artist wasn't thinking of his 'mother-in-law'?
