That famous "Slumscraper" in Bombay/Mumbai. Home of a single family and their 500 servants, complete with helicopter landing pads.

So, what's happening in the scene? Presumably that's Athena watching as one of the heroes defeats someone, perhaps Achilles and Hector?

 

[Kyriakos]

I am not sure where it is from, but it is at least equally likely about the aftermath of the killing of the Calydonian boar. Eg the desecration of the temple of Zeus (?) and punishment for that; although it would explain eros it wouldn't readily account for the standing hoplite.

Well done! I thought the defeated person looked female, but the only story I could remember involving Amazons also included Heracles and he's certainly not in the picture.

That is a great photo -- yours? I can never seem to get close enough to them to take decent photos -- that is, my buddy(s) usually prefer to swim around and look at stuff, rather than burn through 15 minutes' worth of air just lying on the bottom, while I/we wait for the eels to grasp the idea that I don't actually intend to eat them...

Just saw this on Reddit. It's a 9/11 memorial donated to USA from Russia. You can find it in Bayonne, New Jersey.

“To the Struggle Against World Terrorism”

A gift from artist Zurab Tsereteli and the Russian people, the memorial is made of steel sheathed in bronze. Standing 100 feet high, its center contains a jagged tear. In it hangs a 40-foot stainless steel teardrop, representing sadness and grief over the loss of life, but also hope for a future free from terror. Etched in granite on an 11-sided base are the names of the nearly 3,000 killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

It may be 'shopped.
