The world war two memorial in Komsomolsk On Amur, a town in the Russian Far East. The sculpture at left reminded me of the Sphinx in Egypt. The overall scene somewhat resembles Mt Rushmore in the USA.

The Amur River forms the border with China.

The sculpture at left reminded me of the Sphinx in Egypt, no doubt but it is white stone and that are the yellow stone, TFS.

Hello Chris,
Good point of view to show this massive monument!
The Sphinx to the left, Elvis in the middle... hehehe
Sharp fine details and a wonderful blue sky!

Hello Chris

In fact, they are sculptures with a certain similarity in reminding the monuments mentioned by you.
But they are beautiful and beautiful sculptures.
beautiful visual, clear and of great details.
Congratulations

Sérgio

It is a really nice statue! They are expressive! The texture is realistic in details and the patern of the stone mix with it greatly!

Hi Chris,

Great shot! I like the selected POV and the diagonal composition, it is very dynamic. Very sharp, and even though the light is harsh you did a great job.
TFS,
Vassilis

Yes, it's a third-way tie between Egypt, Mt Rushmore and Russia!! Actually Chris, I find it quite amusing - you have me smiling...
Thank you for sharing
Janice :)

Very well done!
Take care! Yan :)

Hello Chris,
It sure does resemble the Sphinx. Grear clarity, texture and colors. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Chris - indeed very confusing, because seeing the thumbnail one first thought is Egypt.
So this is a WW II memorial - interesting.
TFS,
Els

Hi Chris,

It has never been exposed this kine of sculture . . It must be history behind it . .
Excellent presentation my friend . . Fine detail and lovely composition . .

Tfs,
TJutjut

Many thanks for your kind words on Color of today .

Good observation and indeed a pretty cool similarity with both affirmations.

I like the angle and POV you choose here to reveal more the relief and three dimensions of the sculptures.

Well done!
Robert

Very good capture
Of a very nice and well made sculpture

Most confusing! As you say - Rushmore, meets Giza, meeets Amur.

Well captured, the contrast of the grey statues against the deeply saturated sky is just stunning!

Hi Chris
Quality POV on the tree heads - They do remind me of Mt Rushmore - Without a reference point I'm not sure how big the faces are. Very interesting.

Thanks for visiting my Road Trip - your critique is appreciated.

Dan

Nice presented subjects.
compliments
bye Aga

Couldn't have guessed it's a WWII monument, Chris... Nice poV and excellent details, I love the colours here.
Excellent work, TFS

Interesting shot, Chris. Some think the real Sphinx's head was replaced by Phaoronic activity (some Phaoroah making a name for himself) before the Jews were even a nation, this is an interesting shot. TFS. It certainly doesn't look original as there is no sense of proportion as is true of the body.

Kinda strange looking for a memorial....

fantastic structur and details, And great title....
I like imuch..
PS.: thanks for your great komment to "please stop the war!"...
have a peaceful day my friend

Hi Chris. A good perspective making the faces very clear. The blue skies are an ideal backdrop. Interesting places you have travelled to recently. TFS. Murray.

Hi Chris,
Great sculpture photo. Nice POV and colors, I especially like the dark blue sky and the greenery in the bg. Perfect sharpness also, the textures of the statues can be seen quite well.

If one of them is reminding You to the Egyptian Sphynx, where's the lion body? :)

Tfs this excellent image, best regards from Hungary, László
