This sculpture in Kiev is part of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War. This photo doesn’t do the sculpture justice….it is very big, very big. This stainless steel statue is over 203 feet tall and weighs 560 tons. The sword is 52 feet long and the shield is 43 feet long/26 feet wide. The Soviets build this to impress.

Here is another photo from our yard. I posted a flower photo from the yard a couple days ago. We have a few rose bushes in our yard and therefore we have some great roses (this year) to go along with all the other flowers. Last year (our first in this house), I trimmed them too short in the spring, thus we didn’t get any roses. This spring, I left them alone (lesson learned).
