Picture Stories #273 - Stone Birds

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

I had shared about three different kinds of stone birds I encountered at a flower show in a huge botanical garden in Singapore - they can be seen individually here, here and here. While they seem to depict birds of prey, I'm not really sure about it and they might as well be some non-carnivorous birds. But the fact is, these pieces of artwork are really beautiful and they do look good together as well as individually.

Carving and sculpting stone can not be easy, and although there might be machines to do these things nowadays instead of doing it manually, I really admire the skills of artists and designers who come up with such unique and awe-worthy pieces of art.

Do you have a favorite among the 3 stone birds shown?

Thank you for reading!
