My interpretation of waiting is the statue of noted children's author Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. I imagine him here in this pose waiting for inspiration to write more clever rhymes.
"Waiting" is a rich theme. And your first picture is beautyful! I like all the little details of the statue: the hair, the bear, the hands..are perfectly made;He seems so near life!..
excellent composition for theme day. as always, well done. I always envisioned Dr. Seuss as being rather active and frenetic to come up with his rhymes and stories and illustrations. I did not think of him being contemplative.
This is a great take on the theme, i haven't seen this statue before, so thanks for the beautiful photograph!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sculpture. Love your interpretation that he's waiting for inspiration.

How clever indeed. Have you had the chance to read his book 'Oh, The Places you'll Go'? It's all about waiting for things to happen in your life.
ReplyDeleteI bet he has been waiting there for some time.
ReplyDeleteThink of all the children 'waiting' to discover him and his marvelous way with words. This is an excellent interpretation of 'waiting'.
ReplyDeleteA great contribution.

ReplyDelete"Think left and think right

Oh,
the things you can think up
if only you try!”
That's one I remember for reading it Many times to my children..
An inspiring picture!
Fabulous capture for the theme! It is, without a doubt, a time of waiting for this gentleman.
ReplyDeleteVoilà qui est très beau et si perfect pour le thème !
ReplyDeleteSitting there every day, year round. He sure has patience.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo for the theme. Its a lovely statue.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for a new unspeakable rhyme perhaps
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of Dr. Seuss waiting for eternity...wondering 'bout eternity."(Bruce Cockburn lyrics)"..
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, but he could also be meditating on how he's going to spend all of his money before he dies!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, as usual!
He does look like he's waiting! From this angle, it seems that he's wearing sunglasses. He's maybe waiting for the summer!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and beautifully composed and the light was perfect! The new design of your blog is impressive.
ReplyDeletePerfect TD photo. He will be waiting for a very long time and not change a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you know who the artist is?
