So symbolic even in this day and age as women still struggle to show their power. The picture is very dramatic and beautiful. Nicely done ...

Your photo of the maiden is simply beautiful, love the sun's rays.
beautiful picture :-)
This is so, so awesome, Betty.
If you hadn't mentioned the statue, I'd have thought it to be a real woman up there.
Awesome catch of the statue, the rock and the water catching some light.
I could stare at this frame for a really long time. :)
A wonderful shot! And a beautiful scenery and statue!
interesting place for a statue. Lovely place and light :)
Thanks for sharing the link to her story...lovely image♪
This is really wonderful. I enjoyed reading about it as well.
I honestly thought it was a real woman not a statue! What a great story.
Stunning photo. And how realistic is that statue?! She looks real!
