The more I see of Masi's work, the better I like it. Spare and angular, yet he is able to capture the essence of the animal!

By the way, did you accuse me of "lagging"? Of course, I was lagging. I'm a laggard in good standing! :-)

What an interesting fun courtyard!

What an interesting sculpture and Masi must be a great artist. Thanks and I like that red one.

I quite like the first one. It's icy. But the red image of a polar bear? There's not much red in the arctic, so, unless newborn...

I like them too. Very interesting to see silver and red polar bears.

Ours amusants! ;-)

With this weather they probably feel perfectly at ease...

J'aime bien!Et les ours polaires en tant que symboles, et les statues que tu nous montre. Elles sont simples et jolies, on dirait des sculptures de Pompon modernes!

C'est toujours un voyage culturel les visites qui je faites à ton blog.
J'ai aimé ces sculptures, elles sont pleines de grâce! :)

I love these bears. I want the red one in my woodland garden. MB

What a contrast with the environment so classic of Versailles!

Quel contraste avec l'environnement si classic de Versailles!

Polaires de l'Artique (au nord) alors que les manchots poussent dans l'Antartique (au sud) !
Moins doux pour les câlins que des Teddy bears mais assez lisses tout de même pour faire de bons sièges !

Tes ours sont mignons ! Ils me rappellent des ours berlinois (?). Ils en ont des différents sorts décorés partout dans la ville.

Bonne weekend a toi. Je pars demain pour Hawaii. J’ai hâte !

Never seen them before, they are fantastic! I especially like the red one.

Für Samstag wünsche ich dir viel Vergnügen! Solche Ausflüge kommen mich immer teuer zu stehen, weil ich so viele schöne Dinge sehe, die ich unbedingt brauche. Geht es Dir auch so?
Übrigens konnte ich auch überhaupt nicht nähen, als ich mit dem Quilten begann. u
Und ich hatte auch keine Nähmaschine.
Nur Mut, Du hast ja eine tolle Expertin, die Dir raten kann!
Liebe Grüße Renate D.

That is a gorgeous building, Ciel. I'm not so wild about the polar bears though.

I'd like the polar bears better if they were white. Well, the silver one is OK but the red one turns me right off.

Suzanne said...

These are really great, I just didn't scroll down!!! What fun they look like they're having.

Tash said...

the silly thing is that the name for them that comes to mind is Care Bears...They look so friendly. Wonderful captures of an interesting setting.
