Situated among holm oaks, alder trees and chestnuts lies a natural cave displaying a statue of Eve.
Eve appears to turn, surprised, while her posture and that shy bringing of the hand to the face, communicate feelings of expectation and uneasiness. The technical skill of the sculptor is clear in the softness of the body, in the smooth, almost translucent surface of the white stone and becomes virtuosity in rendering the single locks of hair which, adorned with flowers, flow voluptuously over her naked shoulders. And the magic is renewed at every glance.*

I would love being surrounded by such magnificent trees, Cherry, while residing in that grotto.
It is a lovely thought
