Theme: Metal | Become a Photo Hunter
There are several interesting metal sculptures around town –at least I think they are metal. They look like it.
This is one I tried to get a shot of when the theme was “Row,” but it was too late in the day and too dark. Since I am supposed to be keeping my foot up today, I asked my oldest son to see if he could get a better shot for me.
This is a view from the back:
Here are a couple that my middle son took a while back:
This is another one my oldest son took of my youngest son a few years ago (he’s at least a foot taller now!)
I enjoy seeing these and others around town.

Oh, these are absolutely wonderful! How lucky you are to have them in your town. The photos are great — especially that last with the real boy among the statues.

Those are all so wonderful. Those are all in your town? That is great. I love the view from the back of the kids pledging allegience. Wonderful shots for metal Barbara.

The sculptures are great. The kind of art that one can really enjoy seeing around one’s town/city.

I love these bronze statues that are used as urban art. I especially love the Mother and child at the fountain. We have some around town too.
Have a happy Easter weekend.

Beautiful! Where do you live, Barbara? It looks like you are living in some artistic town. Happy Easter!

These are fabulous! I’m very impressed and love the one where a “real” child can join in the ring around a rosie. I’d like to come back and browse your blog and find out more about you! What town do you live in? You should check out my post just before the photo hunters one – it’s about Good Friday. Happy blessed Easter to you!

We have lots of bronze statues all over the island. The last photo looks fun!

These sculptures are beautiful. I wished my country is as adventurous as this to come out with such sculptures to beautify the town more

Awesome photos!

I really like the “metal people” idea for around town- Olean has squirrel statues scattered around the town, dressed as people…
My metal is here.
March 22, 2008 at 10:46 am
WHERE do you live??? I LOVE those statues! They would just cheer me up every time I saw them!!! That one at the library just warms my heart!!!
March 22, 2008 at 11:05 am
Really like those statues that are around your town.
Great entries for the theme.
Good luck with keeping your foot up today! Hope it’s only for a day for longer is no fun.
Happy Easter !

Wow those are incredible. As soon as I saw them I was reminded of simiilar metal statues in a shopping centre in Joburg!
Mine is here…http://jenty-mylifeinpics.blogspot.com/2008/03/photohunt-metal.html
March 22, 2008 at 1:38 pm
I love this sort of art. There’s a sculptor whose name escapes me that does lots of this and the pieces are so life-like that people walk up to ask for directions sometimes. Wonderful entry!
March 22, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Fantastic – I love the one with your son the best!!!
Happy weekend

Awesome Barbara. I love the circle of children, with a space to join in. Have a blessed Easter!
March 22, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Wow, you folks have lots of art around your town. That’s great. These pictures are excellent. I love the one with your son holding the statues hands, that’s really cute.
March 22, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I love the one of people saluting the flag. The square looks interesting with its brick streets or sidewalks.
March 22, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I love this type of urban art. We’ve got a couple of giant, rusting metal corkscrew sculptures stuck in city parks. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
March 22, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Those are outstanding and what a great thing to have available to see on a regular basis. Lovely.
Happy PH, and rest your foot.
Mine is up if you are interested at The Cafe.

Hi Barbara. Sorry for the late visit. Great photos! I love the beautiful sculptures. I love the mother and child by the fountain and the last fun shot of your son.
