Walking towards the Freedom Bridge from ELTE University in Budapest, I saw this memorial. The initial impression of it was a lady teacher in such a braced up posture and the rest (especially the wondering faceless looks of those around her) seemed totally afraid. There is a strange optimistic air around her when I moved around to look at her from all the different angles. While the morning sun was shining from behind, it highlighted her forward looking attitude to guide a group of children.
But later did I realised she is not a 'teacher'...SHE, together with the group of people, were there in memorial of their fighting spirit for liberty, democracy, human rights and most of all FREEDOM

Wonderful. Except I think women are used in sculpture and art to symbolize wisdom, victory, justice, love, whatever, but not really employed enough in positions of leadership, I think.
Zannnie i see you're adapting very well in Europe, Zsolt should be very happy to have you as a team mate =)
great post, i like the lighting you managed to achieve.
Meg..is the president/prime minister of New Zealand a man? Maybe...if we have luck the next president of the USA will be a woman. Nowdays I know only Queen Elisabeth and Angela Merker as female leaders.
tres beau memorial. alors cela fait quoi Zsolt72 de voir sa ville sous les yeux de quelqu'un d'autre ?
very beautiful memorial. then that shown what Zsolt72 its city under the eyes of someone else?
Strong monument. Meg speaks some words of wisdom. Cultures don't often reward strong women.
wow... Budapest is a beautiful city... and now that there are this low coast flights... I think, I have to go and see it by my self... nice photos...

I hope this cultural aspect that's been hindering WOMEN will change for the better over time;)

Wonderful!!
Thank you, Andrew!
Zannnie you are doing great!
Budapest is overwhelming isn't it?
I'm Looking forward to more photos
Cheers!
Zsolt, actually, New Zealand has quite a few women in power, luckily. Currently our PM and the Speaker are women, and we have a fair few ministers. In 1999, we had the PM, the Governor General (Representative of Queen Liz), Attorney General, and a few ministers, that I can recall; possibly the head of Telecom, and maybe a few mayors. I kept a magazine cover of seven powerful women in NZ at that time, but I think I lost it... Darned!
But apparently the statistics aren't that great in the business world.
agree with Meg. nevertheless, motivating sculpure, and of course really great photo!
lachezar,
yes..!!! it's really beautiful...
lara,
Thank you very much for your nice comments;)
A wonderful photo for a beautiful topic, and the comments are all great. May we see more female leaders take humanity towards more peace, freedom and human rights.

I'll be back! And don't laugh...but I didn't put you together with your Zolt name...and I thought you were male...shows how observant I am huh? LOL! :-)
