I have added a new section to the forum today for photographs from outside Scotland which are worth sharing.

http://scottishmonuments.s2.bizhat.com/viewforum.php?f=30

This section can include any memorial, monument or architectural sculpture which you have come across anywhere outside Scotland. I'm sure we've all come across quirky buildings, historic plaques or stunning monuments in our travels and it's a shame not to have a place to share them.

I'd be happy to see close-up photographs of statues like the John Betjeman statue in St Pancras or 'Dave', the homage to Michaelangelo's David at Tower Hill both in London. The 'Rice Paddy' Korean War memorial in Washington DC. How about the statues on the the Charles Bridge in Prague or Sant'Angelo bridge in Rome? Do our Scottish sculptors hold their own against their contemporaries in Europe?

Not just famous statues though, you can see what sort of things we've got on the forum already and plaques, sculpture, gravestones, fountains and monuments from other countries that are worth seeing can be posted here. There's no harm in comparing what we've got with the rest of the world.
