I keep finding new (to me) ones. This one I thought was funny because it is called ‘Serenity’. But if you look closely the sculpture has been beat to hell. I know the Venus de Milo is also a bit beat up and people find tremendous beauty in it but this sculpture doesn’t convey serenity to me. Do you think ‘Serenity’ is an apt name for this memorial to Lieutenant Commander William Henry Schevtze?
I know Meridian Hill Park is still under major construction but there is a good portion of it that is as incredible as ever. I think this fountain is by far the greatest in all DC and probably Maryland as well. If you’re ever bored on a Sunday I recommend you grab the paper or a book and head straight to this fountain. Another angle and different fountain after the jump. (more…)
I can’t believe I never noticed this Joan D’arc before. Unfortunately her sword has broken but otherwise pretty cool. Check out some other statues from the park after the jump. Which is your favorite?!–more–>
