What's a friend? What's a friendship? Can time and distance or fate really separate friends and end friendship?
This scupture at the main plaza of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) is entitled "Sekali Teman, Selamanya Teman" (Once a friend, forever a friend). It was dedicated by its 1970's alumi.
To ITB's alumni, friendship and cameraderie begin they day they become students, and they last forever!

Great angle shot of this sculpture. I think you are right about friends made in college, they last forever and always have a certain place in one's heart.
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. Who is the artist?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's really nice!
ReplyDeleteI have something a little special tomorrow to help announce the arrival of a new site of mine,

What a great sculpture. I really like your photo capturing it as if it's lifting into the sky. Thanks for pointing me to your post. Great blog - it's interesting for me because so much is similar to California (water parks, university buildings, art sales) and yet it's also very different.
ReplyDeleteNice sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and your very nice comment. To answer your question, I've been living in Stavanger for 5.5 years.
Oh, my question was about Bandung Water Park not the campus center but thanks anyway for the info.
Yes, I lived in Bandung before married.
beautiful shot, and nice words on friendship!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sentiments. Tis is an excellent photo, the harsh metal against the glorious blue sky was a 5 for me.
ReplyDeletei agree, neither time nor distance can seperate the friendships we carry in our hearts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and strong sculpture and that is how friendship should be!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding us!
I really like this shot.
