This is a photo of a picture we have in our living room of a sculpture by the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, called "The Kiss" - he did a few different variations on the theme (if you google you'll see what I mean - images of the various versions here). Brancusi is one of my favourite sculptors, and I was so happy when HD came to stay with me in Romania a few years ago that we could go to his birthplace in Targu Jiu and see the sculptures he had bequeathed to the city. This week he would have been 135 years old - even Google celebrated the occasion.
We used another picture of "The Kiss" on our wedding invitations and order of service. We zoomed in on the middle of the sculpture and had a long thin picture of just where the two figures join in the embrace. When my dad saw it he thought at first it was a bare bum!
