Hay dj, hows it going? great to see you posting, sorry I've not been visiting I see I have missed some superb shots!!!
This is just beautiful...oh the bliss of love and passion!!! I love the traces of snow and the way the shadow falls seemingly just hiding their faces to allow a small amount of privacy for them....beautiful!!

Another great shot Tigersprout! Vigeland Sculpture Park,..should be the Mecca for contemporary sculptures...one can connect to the sculptures quite easily.

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Interesting, though it doesn't communicate bliss to me at all. The way the male figure dominates the female and holds her head to his looks more like indoctrination to me. What are your thoughts DJ.

@grouser: hehe!! yes true mate it could be that too - and in most cases i would agree with you... but these are the Norwegians... this is passion as only the young can know!!! :) cheers!!

The sculptor here certainly knows what he/she's doing. Magical!

Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United States
Absolutely gorgeous image. Maybe all that warmth and tenderness melted most of the snow. The B&W treatment makes it even more spectacular. Congratulations!
13 Apr 2009 4:47pm
@Emilio Garcia: hehe -- thanks Emilio!! well, maybe for this day... although in the heart of winter, these are all covered in snow and ice, and visitors do their best to clean them up so they can enjoy and photograph them!! :)
