Overlook Park in St Paul



I found this intriguing statue in St Paul last week. It was commissioned in 1890 by New York Insurance for it's St Paul branch. The statue is of a bald eagle, a snake in it's grasp, pulling it away from it's nest full of chicks. It is profound, and it moves me.


This is a photo from the edge of the park. You can see the St Paul area for miles around. It is so beautiful.

Thanks for your comments on my blog!

Your blog layout has a lot of potential! I think it helped to clean things up, and customize the colors to set a certain "feel" and "atmosphere"... if that makes any sense. :)

Keep it up!
