A Friend in Need is A Friend Indeed I believe is a rough translation of Amicus certus in re incerta. I waited for almost 10 minutes today for this gull to fly away but it did not budge. I thought I may clone it out but decided to leave it. As you can see it was a beautiful clear blue sky today. I intensified the blue slightly and cropped the edges.This marble sculpture is the rooftop facade of a local building "originally designed by Forrester and Lemon for Hood and Shennan's Drapery in 1874. In 1886 it was remodelled for the AMP Society. The marble Amicus statue at roofline is thought to be the only original AMP insignia remaining in situ in New Zealand." You can see the whole impressive building HERE . . . Taken with Canon 450D using EF75-300mm lens.Hand held. . .Thanks for looking, any comments or suggestions (except you must use a tripod lol) most welcome and valued.
