Broadgate Venus
Day 7 on “Photo 101” – ‘Big & Point of View’
This is one of the statues that is most suitable to be described as ‘BIG’. It is ‘Broadgate Venus’ in London. I could not do a point of view shot for this one but just compare it with the size of beer bottles and a glass. The shape and the colour as well as its size make such an impact!
In contrast to the Broadgate Venus’s curvy organic shape, the next photo has a very geometrically shaped column and a tall building. Although they seem to be inorganic with a similar metallic colour and texture, the column has many cut out shapes of leaves & creatures and the building also has a long gentle curve on its side. By being positioned next to each other with precise calculation they look like a perfect combination to me.

Curves of a different kind and meaning. Nice pictures.

Great photos, both of them.
I have a photo of sleeping Buddha, laying like the woman, from Indonesia. Kamakura’s Daibutsu would be great too. But I was thinking of using Warsaw’s landmark – the building that is visible from afar. That is, when I’ll finally catch up with the tasks.
Cheers, can’t wait for next photos. 🙂

Thanks. I thought about either the Kamakura’s or another Daibutsu in Nara first too. Yes, go for the Polish ‘BIG’. Look forward to it.

I would have put it already if I hadn’t know that they got extra things for summer. I still haven’t taken those photos.
Cheers.

Love Venus and wow! Those buildings are fantastic. I love the cool slivers and greys with the blue sky contrasting with the delightful cutouts. Where is this??

The Venus is great if you see it on site situating in a vast square. Wonder whether I managed to capture the impact on camera? The building is in Japan. Exact town? I think it is Nagoya now I’m trying to remember.
