Here is my entry to Photo Hunt Contest #15 created by 
The photo below is a view of the statue of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which is located in one of the most beautiful public gardens in Toulouse, France.
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) wrote several great books. Among them, The Little Prince, a masterpiece of French literature.
But he is also a pioneer in international postal flight. He worked for Aéropostale in Toulouse for a while, covering routes between France, Spain and North Africa.
Saint-Exupéry disappeared in August 1944, during a reconnaissance mission over occupied France. The wreckage of his plane was found 56 years later in the Mediterranean Sea near Marseille.
The statue, created by Sculptor Madeleine Tézenas, was erected in 2000 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth.
