19. Relief
My first thought of relief was a welcome pillow after a long hard day of work. Or sweat pants after pantyhose. But then I saw this figure carved in the stonework of a turret at Berry, and it made me think of relief in a whole new light.
Relief is a kind of sculpture where an image is carved onto a flat surface and projects out. Like Stone Mountain is one of the world's biggest relief sculptures.

Oh, yeah -- love, love, love this. I thought about a similar use of "relief", but went another direction. But this is perfect.
Ok, so help me out. I don't get it!!! Sorry... :(

My favorite pictures are the ones that someone takes the path less travelled like this one -- great job!
