Thank you @itchyfeetdonica. We were there in winter so there was barely a sole around... it seems for photos this is a good time of year as someone else was saying that to me they have never seen Brighton Beach so quiet that it was packed when they were there.

Happy to share their story... I love their history and that they were recycled and re-purposed in such an amazing way. Thanks again : )

I still remember your description of Brighton Beach. :D You are right winter is a good time of year to shoot those popular beaches! Just I only had holiday during the hottest summer(New Year time). :)

Oh yes, it was you who said about Brighton... :D
Yeah same deal, we were only down for winter as we had been to Thredbo for the snow prior to heading down to VIC. I wonder what it's like Autumn/Spring times?

Thank you!! : )
Yes I'd like to get back there too... do the whole walk and see them all. We only saw maybe half. When we planned the trip I knew they were there and we wanted to see them but I didn't realise how long the walk was and how much time it would take up. The entire walk takes about 2 hours but if you're us and like to stop, take photos ; ) and appreciate your surrounds more, you're going to need a lot more time! :D There's lots to see and do along the trail!

Today I was at Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece. It is a town nearby to the place I live and since my friend Wes wants to see statues from all over the world I took some shots from the status of the town. This is Europa and if you want to know the myth around her, check out my post :)

If you have not heard yet about the mystical ghost, which was mentioned in and old manuscript - you will now. If you have not seen the horrendous, grotesque figure yet - you will. But the best thing is to befriend the spectral creature, many riches and fortune awaits the daring.
Near the castle remains, just past the swing bridge, there is a bronze sculpture of a ghostly silhouette that looks like it is just stepping out of the water via the shore line. 2.4 metres in height, the sculpture holds its own secret - everyone who comes near the frightful sculpture will be greeted by it.
According to one legend, in 1595, one of Klaipėda Castle guards, Hans von Heidi, saw a ghost. The mystical visitor warned the guard that the city’s supplies of grain and timber may be running out, and with that, it vanished just as it had appeared.

Combined with a pretty stunning colourful winter sunrise the Ghost looks just amazing

Enjoy the scenery :)

Hi, @derangedvisions :) This is my entry. Beginner level.

Sculpture of mournful angel with cross in hands.
I made this photo 2 years ago at «Lychakiv Cemetery» in Lviv, Ukraine. This is real historical and cultural museum under open air. There are more than 2000 graves, 500 sculptures, chapels which represent artistic value.

If you someday came to Lviv, you definitely should visit this place and join night excursion. It really atmospheric!

I've taken this pic in Budapest, Hungary cca 5 years ago. It was a quick hitchhiking trip with a friend of mine for a weekend. He wanted to see what hitchiking is all about so we "took off". Regarding the statue, I don't really know much about it, Im sorry :D

Edit: Ok,I've felt too bad for posting something I have no idea about, so I googled it a bit. It's part of a liberty statue. It is supposed to portray the fight against evil. It was originally erected in memory of the Soviets who died while liberating the city from the Nazis, in 1947. The main statue was created by Zsigmond Kisfaludi Stróbl. This is the main statue (from internet), just to provide a context of the photo.

These are the two lions that guards the original gate of my school University of San Beda. The gate I believe was from the 1850's but the lions I am not sure if they were added much later. There is the cool looking obelisk as well which I I think weird in a Catholic school since Obelisk are of Egyptian origins.

About the photo

I find it interesting to join in this contest. And I was using photos from my collections. But after I know that this submission wants a statue and i didn't have any proper photos of any statue. I knew the perfect statue for this submission and so I've gone to Jahangir Nagar University Campus of Bangladesh to capture this photo. Had to go via bus and rickshaw as it's a little far from my house. I've gone there today just to took this photo as it's a great symbol of our nation too so i thought i could show this to someone if i use it in this submission.

About the Statue

You can see there are three human in this statue. The standing one was the father, the woman was the mother and the lying one was their son who was shot to death. This statue was made after the history of our mother tongue. Our brothers and sisters gave their life to protect our mother tongue. They died like this and their parents could do nothing rather than crying for their dead children. It's really a shocking story. We are proud of them and we're proud of our mother tongue.

When I knew I was going to travel to France I said to myself "I'm not going to take the same pictures that all the tourists does"... I failed myself. Althought, it feels really good to see that same famous image all around the gift shops, google, post cards, paintings, t-shirts, and many kind of products, but knowing that you have your own version of it.

well, I am a pretty open photographer that tries to do things differently than everyone else, so if you think it is a statue and have a cool story and can justify it, then I think it would fit right in.
