Sand Castle

Various shades of brown stamps scattered through the sand include commemorations of Israeli architecture and museums, and a vintage postcard of the Old City wall in Jerusalem, befitting the young girl's handiwork.  There too are stamps of FDR, an architect of a different order. Stamps of martyrs loom in the sky.  And in the faintest upper left corner is the stamp of a lioness sculpture, posed identically to the girl.  Both emanate courage.  (22 x 30)
