The Lighted Lantern

 


The Lighted Lantern is a sculpture by James W Muir.  It sits in cozy little corner outside a Scottsdale Gallery. I've photographed it at least twice but somehow never posted a photo of it before.  

There is a description at the base that reads:

"The pioneer couple having found the courage within themselves to balance the strength of their union, hold aloft the lantern light of hope for a brave new world of truth, justice, and freedom for all...."

  2. I'm not sure the Native Americans see pioneer couples in that light!

  4. The world still strives for the same things but it is a struggle for so many to just survive.
