  3. I only hope these stones are never covered in graffiti. A lot of the commemorative plaques here are covered with senseless scrolls.

  5. I wonder how he dreamed these up? Maybe he did dream them. I like thunderstorms, so this could be taken in two ways: that something good can end up not the way it begins -as something good- but ending badly, or else something good, the idyll, can end up being washed by a torrent and thus to be recreated. There's some thoughts on the statement.

  6. I like this too. I like statues and sculpture, especially of the human being and also equestrian ones. This has a surreal effect -like something science fiction. Reminds me a bit of something I saw in an episode of Dr Who!
