^ Perfect

I had 2 that would have worked for this one, it was tough deciding which one should be submitted, the other one is a picture of the eiffel tower lit up at night, its beautiful, however its slightly blurry so this one won out because of overall quality.

edit: just a cool fact for those of you who have never seen it, that is an actual building, if you look close at the orbs you can see the windows, and all those connecting tubes are elevators and escalators, its really cool.

^ a building monument to "jacks"

FIZZLE: the atomium in brussells?

 

[fizzle]

^Correct and thank you, I couldnt remember the name of it, but I'm assuming your correct because thats the country I was in when I took the pic.

L2R- haha thats funny, I never noticed that but it really does look like jacks. I wonder if thats what the architect got inspired by. If I remember correctly it was built for the world fair or something like that.

We have statues that looks so similar to that in Kansas City, MO at a World War I Memorial.

Here is lovely atlas posing along side one of them

It's a little difficult to see but it's the same type of thing but with wings over its face.

^Cool. That one actually looks a bit bigger than the one in my photo though.

Oh, and it was taken in Crystal Palace Park, London.

does the green fiberglass dinosaur count as a statue, amy?

It was born in Africa-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca

This is an African art bust I got from a good friend & is the closest thing to a statue I have. I think it rocks
