《Roman Ocean God Statues and Fountains》

『〜〜when the master is powerful enough,he or she doesn’t actually need it to exercise.』 這個 quote 很有東方哲學的味道，所謂「重劍無鋒、大巧不工、大象無形、大音希聲〜〜」等等不就是道個意涵嗎？ 金小說家也寫過這樣的話:「四十歲之後不滯於物，草木竹石均可為劍。自此精進，漸入無劍勝有劍之境。」意識應該也差不多! R190圖: shows exactly the spirit of「Nothing is something! 」

Together I show several nice sculptures from the museum. All provenances were intentionally omitted for anyone who likes to know can “Google” to get. The last two images concern the Museum building & façade. Hope you have fond of it.

R21 >> “請問R17最後一張像教堂的是什麼地方？也是 museum 的一部份嗎？” R23 >> “很像又不太像. :- 泰伯兄有高見嗎?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 抱歉沒說清楚，R17最後一張是 V&A’s neighboring museum,the Natural History Museum.倫敦的 Kensington & Chelsea borough 聚集了大英帝國鼎盛時期建造的三座皇家博物館，最新的一座是 Science Museum. R17 最後圖:

Next are sampling images of the NHM from my camera. All are self-explanatory and need not to caption, else “Google” will provide you whatever you’re interested in. Darwin 爵士沒有說過人類的祖先是黑猩猩! End of NHM ~~

Back to V&A Museum〜〜 The museum has large courtyard with a big pond that children love to paddle in it and the premise has different architectural façades from the street-side exterior. Street-side façade Courtyard-side façade

The V&A Museum is known to have a 19th century plaster cast of original statue of ‘David‘, by Michelangelo, Florence, Italy, 1501-4. Interestingly, one would find an additional plaster cast of a fig leaf, half a meter high, attached to the statue one time or the other in the Queen Victoria era. Below is what you would see the “David” then: (Historic records) However, the same “David” (with other piece of a sculpture copy) one sees nowadays would be: ＜img sec=http://img1.imagilive.com/1015/DSC_1553corx3_800x531px.jpg>

現在都把KMT比做Goliath.

聖經故事我不熟, 但 前兩貼後, 突然聯想起近來在電視上看的一部非典的西部電影[西部的一百万种死法](A Million Ways to Die in the West), 情節彷彿也是抄襲 大衛和巨人 的故事. 男主角 (當然就是打敗大壞蛋的角色) 在劇中就是個養羊的, 並不是傳統西部片的快槍手很角色的英雄 -- 通常的正業是養牛 (cowboys 嘛). 那女主角則是個大美女明星, Charlize Theron, 大壞蛋 連恩尼遜 也是大咖. 雖然這片的賣座平平, 可是我還蠻有印象的.

大衛和巨人的故事〜〜 在 Michelangelo 的 David 之前，所的雕像腳下都有一顆巨人 Goliath 的頭顱，代表凱旋的戰鬥英雄，但是 Michelangelo 則大反其道，刻意去表述兩軍對峙、戰鬥一觸即發前的 David，他頭部微俯，雙眉緊鎖怒目震撼，全神貫注地直視前方，他的力量暗藏在待機而發的姿勢上，頑強沉靜地處於迎接戰鬥的狀態，神情充滿正義凜然的英雄氣概。臉部的表情可用『敬天畏神、慎度情勢』來形容： 後世的 Bernini 也依循 Michelangelo 的手法來處理David 的雕像，臉部的表情堪用『憤懣仇怨、蓄勢待發』來形容： img src=http://img1.imagilive.com/1015/img_0874_640x352px.jpg>

>上圖右下方雲端是使徒聖巴多羅買（St. Bartholomew），他... 我找半天, 原來是在正中央嘛! Michaelangelo 獨特的簽名 是指這個? 很特別. :-) (最後的審判)

這次參加巡邏南海行動的 P-8波音海神號反潛巡邏機 雄姿. ^^

Two pieces of news about P-8’s: A P-8A Poseidon aircraft departs Boeing Field in Seattle on Nov. 20, 2014. A P-8 was patrolling what the U.S. considers international airspace over the South China Sea on May 20, 2015, when it was warned away by a Chinese navy ground dispatcher at Fiery Cross Reef. China considers the reef its territory. Boeing is also courting the UK, which is believed to be looking at acquiring P-8s with which to rebuild its anti-submarine warfare capabilities. These were seriously impaired following the abrupt withdrawal of the Nimrod MR.2 maritime patrol force in 2010 and axing of the planned Nimrod MRA.4 replacement program, leaving a capability gap which Russian surface vessels and submarines have exposed during recent incursions into British waters

We plan to stay in UK things for a while. So let’s look up the ill-fated HMS Poseidon (P99), as she was one of the several real ships named after the Roman Ocean God. HMS Poseidon, which was a state-of-the-art submarine when the Royal Navy launched it in 1929 but sank only two years later off Shandong province.

Hey. I‘ve got another here, light cruisers HMS Neptune (海神 英國皇家輕型巡洋艦).
