Churchill amidst the Citrus


The gardens of the Palais Carnoles in Menton display sculptures amongst their famous collection of citrus trees. This is Sir Winston Churchill by the Dutch sculptor Kees Verkade who lives in Monaco.

  1. Interesting piece. I love the series of Sculptures he did of dancers.

    Will you do more tango photo's this year -- it is around that time. Loved your photos from last year. I love to Tango such a romantic dance.
    Merci

  2. Yes, Kees does beautiful dancers, I so agree.

    And you bet, I'll be there with bells on to photograph the tango dancers. I adore that festival too. It's on from the 14 - 18 July.

    And I have seen many of his oil paintings both inside the main building and at his studio. Many of them were from France..... He must have LOVED FRANCE!;)
