RE: Warnings From the Past (Original Photo)
Very interesting. Just curious do you know what the monument is about? It does appear some of the crowd is looking towards the heavens as if to be seeing something that has wowed them. One looks almost like worshipping and some in the back are bowed down. Very cool. One not knowing can really use their imagination here.
It's called "The Illuminated Crowd" by a sculptor by the name of Raymond Mason. I'm not sure what he meant it to represent but I'll have to research it now.

Raymond Mason (sculptor)
Raymond Grieg Mason OBE (2 March 1922, in Birmingham, England – 13 February 2010 in Paris, France) was a sculptor.
He trained at the Birmingham School of Arts and Crafts under William Bloye, the Royal College of Art (for one term), and Slade School of Art. He lived and worked in Paris beginning in 1946. He was a close friend of the late Nobel Prize–winning scientist Maurice Wilkins.
