Fascinating post - I like the history and you got all elements in one shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bagman and Butler. I like reading a bit of history too.
Deleteat the base of the statue is an inset of some other stone, carving from another stucture? I was too lazy last night to try and find a photo with all 3 - SO GOOD JOB!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginger - I think you're right about the inset - will have to take another walk there and check it out. And I was too lazy to find 3 lol!
DeleteIt looks like its been there for a hundred years! But I read the plaque so I guess not!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like that - maybe that's the effect they were trying to simulate. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteGreat shot. Interesting story. I have never seen that before.

Thanks Peggy. There are many interesting stories from NZ - will try and weave them into some posts.
DeleteGreat shot for all three elements, Suzy. And it's a beautiful sculpture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline - it sure is - near the Te Papa on the waterfront. The pic doesn't really do it justice.
Deletethat is a beautiful art piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks J9 and thanks for visiting.
DeleteInteresting piece of history, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jama - I learned a bit of history too when I took the pic.
