"THE RISING" An American Bald Eagle Carving by Jason Swain

Video Title :	"THE RISING" An American Bald Eagle Carving by Jason Swain
Description :	"The Rising" An American Bald Eagle carved from a single 3,000 pound log of red oak. Jason carved the Figure on site, in Ernest Park, located in Kensington Maryland. This beautiful Eagle was created by Jason as a loving memorial to his niece Katie. Katie's spirit soars In the small American town of Kensington, Maryland, the proud figure of a bald eagle gazes down on the residents from its perch on one of the town's main streets. The 2.4m-tall carved sculpture would be enough to inspire the locals as an enduring symbol of American freedom, but this sculpture holds an even more special meaning. http://www.thedaily.com.au/news/2008/apr/22/katies-spirit-soars/ A very special Thanks to Russell Morris for allowing the use of his beautiful song "Wings of an Eagle" Visit Jason's website@ http://www.jjswain.com/index.htm

This is truly a magnificent work of art! The video is so beautifully made and the song is so perfect. Jason has amazing talent,and the dedication to Katie is inspiring!

That's one proud eagle, one nice monument for a small town in America, and one sweet tribute to an Aussie girl's life cut short. You have a knack for finding the perfect song to score each video, Shanon, always managing to make my spirit soar... Wahoo! Wahoo!

This is amazing, lovely, moving, brilliant etc, etc. True talent always comes from people born in Brisbane ;)

WOW!!! So beautifully done and so touchingly poignant... the story of Katie being particularly heart-rending. "Wings of an Eagle" is very moving... reminds me of the singer/songwriter music I loved in the 70s, stuff like Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin. I nurture a huge love of sculpture, actually took some classes once... its wonderful to see Jason's vision come to life from a log... just amazing. Jason is both talented and handsome! Thank you for this very affecting video, Shanon.

wow id love to beable to create a song as amazing as this one day and thats some scupture. what a way to inspire something.
