Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{New York Stock Exchange}

On August 28, 2015 we did the New York See It All Tour, with OnBoard Tours.  Of course we also made a stop on Wall Street, the historic area in lower Manhattan. 
We were walking to the impressive building of the New York Stock Exchange.
11 WALL ST
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
Same entrance as in photo above but now I've stepped back.
The building has two facades.
Front facade of The New York Stock Exchange with its 6 tall Corinthian columns.
The building seems to have been inspired by the Roman Pantheon.
In the center we see the symbolic statuary of Integrity Protecting the Works of Man, above the New York Stock Exchange frieze.
High relief symbolic figures of which the largest statue as a 'classically robed female figure' called 'Integrity,' who 'stretches both of her arms outward with clenched fists.' A symbol of honesty and sincerity, Integrity, standing on her own pedestal, dominates the center of the 16 ft. high pediment.
The 110 ft. wide pediment contains eleven figures, including the centerpiece figure. 
Integrity protects the 'works of man,' including figures symbolizing Science, Industry,  Agriculture, Mining, and a figure that represents 'Realizing Intelligence.'

The statuary was designed by John Quincy Adams Ward (1830-1910) and Paul Wayland Bartlett (1865-1925).


Hope you enjoyed this architectural treasure.

Have you been there maybe?

Thanks for your visit.

    Regarding your dirt road comment on my blog|
    As for dirt roads.
    ....My summer place sits on one. We are so cool up here that no one has air conditioning. That means we have open windows....I should have thought of that...before I put in black granite. I think I will write a book and title it Black Granite on a dirt Road. me oh my!

  15. No, I've never been there. I didn't realize it was such an impressive structure. Hmm . . . maybe not everyone is listening to Integrity?!

  17. beautiful architecture and details.

    thank you for your kind comment on zim. it was sudden and severe twisted gut. nothing that could have been foreseen or prevented, it just happens sometimes to older horses. he was only 24 which is still rather young for arabians. sadly, he suffered until the vet could put him down.
