The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

Rodin -I knew I'd seen that before
Walking into the Museum d'Orsay in Paris I saw a Rodin sculpture that I knew I had seen before. Another casting of the sculpture is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. You see enough museums and galleries and you may be surprised at how much you learn. One thing I notice about these two photos I took is that the scale of the sculpture is easier to see in the picture from the Victoria and Albert. You can walk around the figure there and see it in context. The one in Paris is in front of a red wall and does not show the size.
