ReplyDeleteso darn COOL!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteSo many sister cities, so many curious sculptures!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGood grief!! I didn't know any of this. You know EVERYTHING about Roanoke!!
ReplyDeleteOften wondered why certain cities get chosen as "sister cities".
ReplyDeleteAwesome sculptures and neat information that I didn't know.
ReplyDeleteCool! I had no clue about Saint-Lô! The cows are pretty much local of Normandy but the headdress looks more like Breton than Norman to me! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are neat sculptures. I found it very interesting to see all the sister-cities.
ReplyDeleteNice sculptures. I'm not sure we have even one sister city here. I'll have to look into that!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see these in real life...so interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey are just wonderful!
