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.
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 Joanny
I have been to his family home in Kent. What a place!!:) 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!;)
They have sculptures amidst a famous collection of citrus trees? I would think that they have some citrus trees amidst their famous collection of sculptures.

Yes, Kees does beautiful dancers, I so agree.
