TBI Photo Essay: Idar – God’s Own Art Gallery

TBI Photo Essay: Idar – God’s Own Art Gallery

The awesome abstract figures of Idar, most of them reminiscent of animals frozen in time, loom over this tiny hamlet. Gigantic in form and spirit, they seem to guard the village folk from the two fearsome demons lurking around the periphery of the village.
