Paula’s Black and White Sunday: Sculpture
Theodor Lundberg created this statue of Christopher Polhem, (1661-1751) a Swedish scientist, inventor and industrialist. He was born in Gotland in a village northeast of Visby where this statue stands on the grounds of Drotten Church. Having a particular interest in mathematics and mining, one of his contributions was a process for lifting and transporting ore from mines. It consisted of a track system for lifting the ore, powered entirely by a water wheel. Human labour was needed only for loading the containers.
Beyond the Brush 
Lynne, I appreciate a lot this information about Polhem, which I was not familiar with before. You made a really nice effect with the selective colouring. Beautifully captured in both instances. In the first one I really like the intriguing view through the window in the background.

In this instance I thought that bit of distraction added to the image. Thanks, Paula.

He’s been standing there for rather a long time I should think 🙂
