Photos of Statues - old, new, bronze, plastic, covered in pigeon poop or clean, b&W, sepia, colour (color) - anything goes as long as it's a statue - robots don't qualify.

Have fun!

Here's some from my more recent trips around Europe:

Haven't entered one of these in a while. Mostly because my camera got stolen on New Years Eve this year. But last week I bought a Sony DSC-R1 and took it out a yesterday to play.

Hey All

Not that much quantity this week, but it's quality that counts I guess.

Nice photos from all contributors.

Thanks guys.

Cheers.

Anyone else want to take a shot at this one?

Thanks, SleepingWolf

I'll be in Italy again the first week of July and I plan to get a lot more photos!

Great photos here as usual. I'm still playing catch up will all things Asylum so here are my statue photographs.
I can remember as a little boy being taken to Sefton park in Liverpool by my grandparents, it was a huge green wonderland for me so finding a statue of Peter Pan there just added to the wonder and mystery.
The statue was badly vandalised and so removed from the park for quite a few years but I'm happy to say that it is now back.
