Thinking...

This piece of art is located on a pier outside my city. It's officially called Exposure and made by the artist Anthony Gormley. It's really tall, 26 meters high! Look at the size of my son in front of it's toe for comparison.
We call it also the squatting man, or even the pooping man 😁
It was very cold and windy, but we had a great stawl and some fresh air.
Wow! That could be seen from a high altitude! Cool art.

That’s rather spectacular- good job you mentioned your son or I’d have missed him!

@judithg yes, that's why I did it 😁

Fabulous of you to give your son for a sense of scale in this photo! It’s a huge sculpture but a most fascinating one. I like your title for it!

Ik ken het van er langs rijden naar Gron, Altijd imponerend
( Ik vind oude molens, en ook boerderijen, vaak misplaatst. De omgeving die minstens een even groto rol speelt, is volgebouwd. Dan staat ie daar maar oude molen te wezen. )

Wow- that is a huge statue! I wonder why the artist felt compelled to make it so big?! Good shot though- love the addition of your son for scale.

@olivetreeann it looks out over a vast lake (former sea) and it fits in size in this wide and open landscape.

Huge size compared to your son!

A super statue.I thought when I first saw it, that it might be by Anthony Gormley

How many people have tried to climb it?

@kork a lot! We did try, but it's really hard. I don't know of anyone reaching the top...

@carolmw you know of him? I like this one a lot, but I haven't seen other pieces, I think.

@geertje .He created The Angel Of The North,a magnificent statue, also several statues standing in the sea, which I think are near Liverpool.
