Personally, I usually don't find shots of statues all that compelling. This is certainly an exception.

In Barcelona we have a beautiful sculpture to honor the firefighters and their great efforts to save lives! Ours is made in white stone! I also wanted to portray ... I am excited about the firefighters and their work! An excellent image! Reminiscent of great suffering! Best regards, Adela
