Garden in Roanoke, Part II

A statue of Virginia Dare, the first anglo born in Virginia. She disappeared with the first colony, at no more than 3 years old. It's hard to tell, but the statue has her draped in a fish net. Maybe the sculptor thought all those lost colonists went and lived with local tribes or something. Very Greek, very allegorical. Still, I like it a lot. This image makes a nice pair with the 'Medea' statue that I fell in love with in Spain.

A larger picture of the garden environment.


The garden was full of strange little surprises like this bricked up tree. Some sort of illness maybe?


More ambience.


I love these bizarre little fishies. Part of a bench.
