Bob - Is that the Mother Mary figure figure that has been talked about around the world?

Coincidence or product of engineering? We may never rally know, but it is a cool picture!

Bob.. This picture is way too cool. How did you do this? Is it a product of heat.. or just a miracle that it looks like Mother Mary.

Hi Bob, I'm speechless. Great pic!

DEC

Thank you all for your comments. This image appeared on an office building in Clearwater in 1996. I visited this site on several occasions, and took this particular picture in 2000. The top 3 glass panels have since been destroyed by vandals in 2004. You can read about the destruction here.

Hi Bob - Sure does make for one very speculative photo...and you say it was there for 4 years?

Gail - Thank you for commenting. It was there for 4 years when I took that photo, but it was there for 8 yrs before it was destroyed.

Wow! That is unbelievable. Now I have to start doing Wordless Wednesdays and Speechless Sundays. What about Super Saturdays? Just a thought. Thanks for your comments. Great post.

DEC

Very nice -- this is absolutely breath-taking.

Hi Bob, I remember reading about this in our papers and seeing it on the news sometime back. Incredible. I had not heard that it had in fact been vandalized though -absolutely awful! Thanks for sharing!

DEC

DEC

Thanks to all that commented on this picture. Everytime I drive by here now, I am saddened to know that it's gone. It was very special and I always enjoyed seeing it, even if just from the road. Just a little Ray of Hope.

JAN

What an interesting shot, Bob. I am glad you shared it. Life is full of fleeting moments, thanks for capturing this one.
