This was another picture I took in Seville (Cadiz). I just loved the way the light was hitting the one side of this "Guardian Angel" statue. I really adored visiting some of the older parts of Europe, it's so beautiful there. And this place was no exception. What really made me want to take this shot, was the fact that this angel only had one wing. It intrigued me and it was something that struck a chord in me. I felt sad, knowing that, at one time, this angel was whole, but the cathedral it was guarding had obviously fallen into disrepair at one time. When I asked why it hadn't been fixed, the tour guide replied that the town had only raised enough money to restore the inside of the church and not everything on the outside. It's just such a shame, something so beautiful will never be put back together, so that others may appreciate it. Now of course I did some editing to this photo, but only a little to enhance the green colour of the moss that was growing all over the statue. I wanted to emphasize the state of disrepair it was in when I saw it. What I'm trying to do with a lot of my shots is convey the emotions I was feeling at the time I took them. How am I doin' so far? I think I can do better. Anyway, that's all for now!
