Exquisite and the most appropriate response, Irene. Where did you capture the third one?

Thanks. The second and third are both from Le Puy-en-Velay in France. The third is on the outskirts of town. It is a 10-11th century church, Saint-Michel-d’Aiguilhe sitting on top of an irregular volcanic plug around 260 feet high. The second is on the highest hill in the town and the statue, at 53 feet high can be seen from almost everywhere in the town. The statue, presented to the town in 1860, was made from the melted down cannons which were taken in the Siege of Sevastopol (1854 -55).

From melted down cannons – that’s a good use of cannons 🙂 Thank you for giving me extra information Irene.

Pingback: Thursday’s Special: Tall | Lost in Translation
A good response to the prompt, and I really like your photographs. Myself i am not great at photography, they are often crooked or look like the wind rushed in blurring the subject and at four foot eleven tall probably wouldn’t work. 😇

You’re 4’11” would suit today’s prompt as any photo you took would make the subject look tall. don’t worry – I get the blurry photos too, I just take zillions in the hope of getting a few good ones.

no I think you probably have what I lack… an eye for the subject and patience. My mind does the writer thing and skips off down a rabbit hole at the blink of an eye, or disappears through the door of a stately home with finesse of course. have a wonderful day.

Don’t worry Jo – I probably would have said Mao only I had it written down in my diary. So glad sometimes that I keep a record (of sorts). 🙂

I’ve never seen these before, Irene. So interesting. Would you please identify the others? Thank you.

The first one is Ho Chi Minh – a Vietnamese communist revolutionary who was prime minister and president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Statue is in a town called Can Tho. The fourth and last are probably the same. Seen from a distance when in the highlands of Vietnam. The 2nd last is Buddah at Angkorr Watt cambodia.

Like Sharon, I’d love you to identify the others! Although I do understand that may not be possible without a lot of research.

No I can do that. The first one is Ho Chi Minh – a Vietnamese communist revolutionary who was prime minister and president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Statue is in a town called Can Tho on the Mekong River. The fourth and last are the same. Seen from a distance when in the highlands of Vietnam, around Sapa (? ) northwest of Hanoi (about a half day drive). The 2nd last (5th) is Buddah at Angkorr Watt Cambodia.
