Johnny Kaw 1

From my walk around the City Park on Friday. The (IMO ugly but by now iconic) statue of Johnny Kaw, who is a modern day mythic figure, like Paul Bunyan, invented for the city's centennial in 1955.

OMG! It is Wreck It Ralph in the flesh! Nice one!

Nice pov!

The statue looks enormous. It does look a bit like Paul Bunyan.

Given the surreal nature of the statue, this dramatic PoV works perfectly. Nice one, Mary.

[Kareen King]

How cool! I've never heard of Johnny Kaw till now! :)

@38dcmoder Thanks Dawn. I tried to find some interesting POV for shots of it.

[Mary Siegle]

@alicias Thanks. Yeah, except no Babe the Blue Ox or lumberjack clothes. The made up story has Johnny Kay carving out the riverbed for the Kansas (or Kaw) river.

@vignouse Thanks. I'm glad you think the POV works. Surreal is a polite way to put it.

@kareenking That's OK, Kareen. He's not a universally known character. Though I would think you'd have seen the big honking statue in the City Park during your time at K-State.
