Purposeful compassion...
28 October 2005 (42)

Salisbury, UK

The sculpture on the right is The Walking Madonna, by Elisabeth Frink.
The madonna stands outside Salisbury Cathedral, always watching, always seeming to be about to leave...
-- and came from Frink's workshop sometime in the 1980s.

The sculpture represents an older Mary
"walking with purposeful compassion as a member
of the community of the Risen Christ"....

----------

This living 'angel' was nearly my picture of the day...

Love the silhouette against that sky.
