St. Dominic, originally uploaded by Em Dy.
The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country. Religious artifacts and statues are but a few examples of public art. This is a photo of a life-sized statue of St. Dominic in a garden at Caleruega, a place of meditation.
Taken January 2008 at Caleruega in Batangas, Philippines

Wow! What a beautiful garden. The statue and grounds work together to create such a pretty picture. I could spend hours there!
ReplyDeleteand the garden around it is public art, too.
ReplyDeletenice choice!
The photograph itself is ART ! I love the way you framed it with the foliage at the bottom and the trees in each corner. You even used the Rule of Thirds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Such a peiceful place. This could be a postcard. I love all the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteHi Em Dy :)
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see examples of religious art, and this one is great! I agree with swampwitch, the photo is art itself! :) It's a beautiful photo and a lovely example of art. Thanks you so much for playing along! :)

It looks so serene there.
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
Wonderful photo - the setting is what really makes the whole thing work. I love the contract between the green garden and the stark which statue. Nice work!
