    oh wow!! what a sight in a shopping mall! here you will ever only see a Madonna statue at a convent school or at one of the few and far between Catholic churches – South Africa is still very much a Calvinistic country. My collection keep the balance though! I love today and yesterday’s haiku that create such a wonderful backdrop to your photographs

    What a gorgeous picture – the composition and colors are really fabulous!

    We could certainly use Mary of the Mercado during this season of shopping madness!

    I’m awed at all the different Mary’s that are showing up with those who are participating with Rebecca. This one is just plain fine art beautiful.

    in a mall? bravo, Mexico! The sight of Mary in our local mall would probably incite wrath on behalf of our Munsonians! That is, unless it were a part of an art display. And, as usual, I admire your haiku. 🙂

    I love how she is sheltered, and how visually, the angles of the staircase point the way to her. Lovely image. . . and haiku sentiment.

    A beautifully lit, beautifully crafted sculpture! So much feeling in the tilt of the figure’s head!
