...also known as the War Memorial Fountain and Peace Arising from the Flames of War. Cleveland Ohio. The centerpiece is a 35-foot bronze figure representing man escaping from the flames of war and reaching skyward for eternal peace. The bronze sphere from which the figure rises represents the earth. Four granite carvings, representing the geographic civilizations of the world, are placed around the sphere. On the surface of the polished granite rim surrounding the fountain are bronze plates bearing the names of 4,177 Greater Clevelanders who perished in WWII and in the Korean War.
Great silhouette and I love the meaning behind the sculpture... thanks for sharing that! And I think it is so appropriate that there is an American flag in the background!
