The image is of the statue of Notre-Dame de France in Le Puy en Velay in South West France.
The statue and pedestal on which it stands is 22.7 metres high and the shot was taken from ground level. The statue in the bottom right corner is of a kneeling man praying. The position of the camera allows the viewer to follow the implied eye line of the supplicant to the face of the Virgin Mary who in turn is looking at the Christ child. The child is pointing to something in the distance that has significance because the town in which the statue stands is one of the starting points for the pilgrimage to Camino de Santiago.
