RRC: Statues



"Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of every sculptor to discover it."

-Michelangelo

RRC: Statues
Suggested by Karen, author of the blog, Outpost Mavarin



Meet Charles Lee Tilden. He is the man that my favorite park in the Bay Area is named after. This statue to the man, is located at the Brazil Building, in Tilden Park, here in the Berkeley Hills. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I spend a lot of time in this park. I love the Botanic Garden, especially in the fall, and you can find me at the Little Farm quite often as well. My favorite area of the park is a toss up between the Carousel and Lake Anza. I can't decide, but I have also spent many a quiet afternoon here at the Brazil Building, bird watching or just enjoying the peace and quiet. It's lovely here. :)

Here, looking down on the Botanic Garden...
