Diana

This image was originally taken in San Francisco at Sutro Park on February 17, 2004. Mark and I spent the morning at the park as a 'honeymoon' after our wedding at San Francisco City Hall. This version of the photographe, altered and enhanced in Photoshop, was completed on Monday, October 30, 2006. It is a photo of the statue of Diana, Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt. In Grecian mythology she is known as Artemis. Pagans still leave offerings of fruit and flowers at the foot of this statue where Diana, pulling an arrow from her quiver and grasping a hind by its antlers, stands poigniantly looking towards the Pacific in a decaying timeless lovliness.
