Very impressive, William. Having missed a lot, I Googled Col. By and learned soooo much. Also Googled Ottawa to see how it got that name when it changed. All very interesting! And I feel a bit smarter, a feeling I'll take any day.
It's the lambchop sideburns that, in this case, make the man. By the way, do you know why they call this a "bust"? I know a bust when I see one and this ain't it! Heh, heh!
very impressive!
ReplyDeleteShame the light affects the photo. Look forward to more
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice that until you said it.
DeleteIt is a pity that he can not see well that way. If had another statue clearer, I would like to see it.
ReplyDeleteThe Colonel is very shiny! :)
ReplyDeleteFor a moment there, I thought you said the Colonel was by himself. But now I see he had his personal photographer with him. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy do these military types look so impressive. How would he look in modern times?
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, to Reveunner. I at first read "....Bust of the colonel. By himself." Thought at first he had a hobby of sculpting.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to photograph through a glass window,
ReplyDeleteA perfect pose!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great series of the museum. I really liked the wooden table.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
The Colonel looks very distinguished William.

ReplyDelete@Jen: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Bill: next time I'm in there it's with a digital camera, and no need for a flash.
@Tomas: I'll photograph him again, and in profile too.
@Halcyon: he seems to be beaming!
@Revrunner: hah!
@Peter: a bit more down to earth.
@Pat: I can see that one too!
@Marianne: it can present challenges.
@VP: he seems quite benign.
@Tamago: thanks!
@Grace: he does.
@Kittie: a pleasure to see you back and about!
he's staring right at you. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't visit enough museums. Gotta do a better job.
ReplyDeleteSo splendid white, I wonder which stone this is... is it stone?
ReplyDeleteHe's looking a bit stern!
ReplyDeleteThey wore some pretty fancy clothes.
ReplyDeleteHis white bust is well placed against a dark wood background.
ReplyDelete@Tex: and he seems annoyed.
ReplyDelete@Birdman: I can never get enough of museums.
@Karl: Marble, I think.
@Sharon: definitely!
@Red: they certainly did.
@EG: he certainly does stand out.
Nice bust of Colonel By, it's a pity of the flash.

ReplyDeleteOf course he belongs there to be seen.
ReplyDeleteAround here, when someone mentions "The Colonel," it's usually Colonel Sanders....
ReplyDeleteStern looking. But then I guess that's normal. For a colonel.
ReplyDeleteIt is such an odd name! I wonder what he would think of the town today?
ReplyDeleteAnd so he is: all by himself except for the crowds viewing him!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it I feel I should salute?
ReplyDeleteA shame they had to change the name of the town. I look forward to seeing more photographs from that museum.
ReplyDeleteNice bust.
ReplyDeleteHe does look very serious.
ReplyDelete@Jan: better luck next time!
ReplyDelete@Lowell: they are quite standout sideburns!
@Marleen: it's fitting to have him inside there.
@Norma: not in this case!
@Ciel: and an engineer at that.
@RedPat: I think he'd be happy that the Canal was still there.
@Cheryl: he's quite the center of attention!
@Kay: perhaps military members in your family?
@Mari: I think Ottawa's a more fitting name.
@Randy: thanks!
@Lois: he seems to specialize in it.
Love how busts look as if they'll speak at any moment.
ReplyDeleteThat's true with him.
