The "Adam's Head" (or Golova-valun) sculpture presents a striking profile view, revealing its deep-set eye and prominent nose emerging from the earth. Bright yellow maple leaves carpeting the ground and contrasting with the grey granite. A small spring flows near the base of the sculpture (visible in the foreground as a trickle), adding to the mystical atmosphere that reportedly inspired Lewis Carroll during his visit in 1867. This angle emphasizes the massive scale of the boulder relative to the path, showing how the face was carved directly into the natural granite contours. Sergievka Park, Old Peterhof, west from St.Petersburg, Russia
