The Wings of the Morning

A striking sculpture I saw at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, USA, last fall. The show runs about 2 minutes.

And by the way, I didn't know until a few days ago, but "the wings of the morning...uttermost parts of the sea" means: the farthest east and the farthest west.

Hi David...Show is nicely done and appreciate the various angles you could shoot a single static subject and still keep it interesting. Whole show has class...Dave

Well, thank you, Dave!

Now a question. No one I've talked to noticed the "rainbow" around the end. That amazes me. That was supposed to be the zinger. (And every show needs a zinger.) So, did you notice it? I'm having to go back and do something to draw attention to it. But I didn't want to do that because the attention was supposed to be on the statue.

The rainbow actually resembles the atmospheric effect called a glory, but I've never seen one reflecting from a pool of water. Usually they are seen against a cloud. The water did have some sort of scum on it, and that must have done it. Also, it's actually a double glory. I was quite interested to see this at the time.
