This blog is to showcase some of the photo's I've taken, the pictures can be from my archive of many years or taken recently. They are from where I live and the various places I have been. I hope Enjoy my work and come back to visit again
I've seen some remarkable creations masquerading as "lions" in church carvings. This one at least looks as though the carver might have seen a lion or a picture of one. Then I notice his ears!
There's something...amazing, I guess, about seeing art in the world. It reminds me of all that even the simplest among us can do. Especially when I think of my own attempts to carve wood...
