An angel and a saint

2007.06.03



Do my prayers remain unanswered
Like a beggar at your sleeve
Olodumare is smiling in heaven
Smiling in heaven I do believe...

~ Paul Simon "The Rhythm of the Saints"

These were taken at the cemetery in Riverton. I loved the sculpture of the angel - I had never seen one like it. The Madonna statue once had a place of honor in my mother's garden, but now watches over her here.

deleted062007 The hate and injustice continue and so the angel still sits at the bottom of the Earth, crying with all her heart for the dream that went so terribly wrong! This is the significance of the crying angel!! And these shots are so holy and so spiritual - nothing more needs to be said!!

rolpa Beautiful blue adds to the power of the statue as do the flowers. A lot of feeling in this.

coralinad The lineup of the three flower sets behind the angel are perfect. But the last one is absolutely amazing. The little paint chips, yellow flowers and pink granite make for a very powerful image. Great angles on both.

justsuz There is something in the body language of the first angel photo that keeps making me go back to look at the photo again. All beautiful shots.
