The Statue of Reconciliation, Coventry Cathedral.
We spent part of today revisiting Coventry Cathedral, which I had forgotten was so wonderful. This statue is in the old cathedral which was largely destroyed in the 2nd World War. Josefina de Vasconcellos, who created it, was at the ripe old age of 90, and it was donated to the Cathedral by Richard Branson on the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II (1995). A replica of this statue was donated by the people of Coventry to the peace garden of Heroshima.
I have now added the first part of a new gallery at Smugmug - Brodick Photo Galleries which shows the gardens at Cotehele House in Cornwall.
