A low-angle shot captures the ornate top section of a grand, grey stone building against a dramatic, cloudy blue sky. The building features intricate architectural details, including multiple levels, decorative carvings, and a dark, recessed window on the uppermost section.
At the very peak of the building stands a striking, gilded statue of a winged female, holding a lightning bolt aloft in each hand. The statue is illuminated against the dark sky, making it a prominent focal point.
Surrounding the central tower are smaller turrets and decorative elements, some also adorned with smaller gilded figures or finials. The roof appears to be made of dark grey tiles. The overall impression is one of impressive historical architecture with a touch of dramatic flair due to the stormy sky backdrop. The lighting and angle emphasise the height and grandeur of the building.

익살스런 표정으로 웃고 있는 호랑이 상. 옛 민화속 그림체를 형상화한 듯 하다. 오른쪽 아래에는 미끄럼 주의 표지판이 놓여있다.

The image depicts a dynamic statue featuring a horse and rider, both rendered in exquisite detail. The horse, muscular and powerful, is caught mid-gallop, its mane flowing in an unseen breeze, emphasizing motion and strength. The rider is poised, possibly in a triumphant stance, with a determined expression that conveys focus and bravery.
The material appears to be bronze, with a rich sheen that highlights the contours and textures of the figures. Shadows play beautifully across the surface, creating depth and enhancing the dramatic effect of the sculpture.
Symbolically, equestrian statues often represent power, heroism, and leadership, serving as memorials to notable figures in history. The sense of movement captured in the design suggests action and glory, inviting viewers to reflect on the qualities of courage and nobility.
The monochromatic color scheme adds a timeless quality, allowing the intricate craftsmanship to stand out while invoking a sense of history. Overall, the sculpture communicates a tale of strength and valor, frozen in time.
