Sculpture, Statues and things that don't move much.



At the tomb of Vietnamese Emperor, Khải Định (1916–1925). In order to pay for the construction of his mausoleum, he increased taxes by 30%. He was not well-liked. Fuji X-Pro1 - XF 1.4/35.

I was tickled to see that Vince Lupo shot this same statue for his "Mapping the West" project. Sadly, sometime during the pandemic, the statue was removed and replaced by a large wooden cross. The local market whose property it was on has closed; now residents must travel about 20 miles for any groceries. Estancia is like many small NM towns, barely hanging on and quite poor.
