As you can probably tell I'm spending a lot of time on Wikimedia
this week and in particular am completely in love with the Tropenmuseum
collection of old photos which are great inspiration.
Today a reveling on Ganesha one of my favorite Hindu gods
who I have always been drawn to. A large Balinese sculpture sits on a plinth at
the top of the stairs, and he was one of the first things to go into the garden.
As a God associated with being a creator and destroyer he is good for new
ventures, so it all seems very fitting, and once in the rest of the garden kind
of flowed. He is also found across South East Asia and I have a smaller
Cambodian statue which sits in the lower garden.
