Diana Fountain. Mexico City |
Diana de Versailles. Musée du Louvre Diana (lt. "heavenly" or "divine") was the goddess of the hunt, being associated with wild animals and woodland, and also of the moon in Roman mythology. In literature she was the equal of the Greek goddess Artemis, though in cult beliefs she was Italic, not Greek, in origin. Diana was worshiped in ancient Roman religion and is currently revered in Roman Neopaganism and Stregheria. Diana was known to be the virgin goddess and looked after virgins and women. She was one of the three maiden goddesses, Diana, Minerva and Vesta, who swore never to marry. [Wiki] |

Very interesting. Looks like she's hunting a crane (or whatever it is)in those first shots!
Nicely done!
She must have been very popular in her day.
Bellisimas tomas!
Impresionantes imagenes, me encanta la de blanco y negro.
Un abrazo
This is a very fine photograph and I do prefer the black-and-white version. Diana confronts a man-made monster. Which is more powerful?
Beautiful composition. The sky backdrop and the modern building and crane intruding into her space. The b&w is very dramatic.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. I'm inspired by all of those I meet in this virtual space. I look forward to following your journey.
Best, Elizabeth
The sculptures are great, even if I'm totally against hunting.
Greetings:)
Seus trabalhos são muito bons! Achei divertido a primeira foto, como se fosse um querendo acertar no outro.
Love the lighting in your photos. I wish there were more Dianas now to shoot some of the rampant construction here.
very beautiful pictures!
my favorite is the third, I like the colors and the place, the text is always interesting! :)
