Wait, my GPS says there should be a giant pig here somewhere....!

New structure in town :) I think I will be back there, it's also bright red! Trying out street photography - safely from a bench on the other side of the street :)
As usual, thank you so much for stopping by, commenting and critiquing!
That is a huge pig! And with that expression on his face, I can almost hear the guy grunting in unison with the pig!!

I love the title and the picture. Street photography is something I'd love to do but am quite nervous about.

That is one huge pig. Would not like it as a piggy bank and have to fill it. Mind you I would like the contents if it were full, Ha ha.

Oh my! I am so behind on responding to all the things people wrote under my pictures in the last couple of days, but I am so glad you guys liked the picture. As it was my first attempt at just pulling the camera out in the street and taking pictures with people in it, I definitely can say that it was way out of my comfort zone. And also - that it is hard to find just the right moment in what's going on in order for the picture to be a little more than just a snapshot of people walking by the giant pig. So, I was happy when that guy stopped for a moment, and my finger just intuitively went "click". After this try, I really appreciate more the craft/art/skill of the street photography, and I think I would give it another go at some point. Thank you all for stopping by and leaving a comment, and I am glad that for some of you, the shot brought a smile. Thanks!

Your image comment combination make me smile. It would take an awful lot of small change to fill that piggy bank.

@bob65 Thank you Bob! The funny thing was - it also made me smile right after I took the picture and looked at you. When the guy looked up, my finger just went down on the shutter button intuitively, and I was very glad to "discover" the actual frozen moment and his facial expression later.
