@bristolrose@ashesand@foxsparrow - Thanks Ladies - very different. On another note, I was saddened to see a dozen or so homeless people hanging around outside the library. They watched me taking pictures and it made me feel a bit decadent or something. :-(
@sansjuan@andrina - Thanks - yes - it's very unusual and it does look as if it's coming out of the wall. It was very windy and chilly today - I will go back and take more pics of some of the other artwork around the library.
@blincodave@steviepix@paul2782@mak2@mamamia@judis - Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I wanted to blur the background but was having trouble with this because of the similar tones in color between the wall and the artwork. I gave up because the only way to achieve this was to stand in the parking lot and there were lots of cars in and out. I decided I liked it well enough as is. :-)
I love the contrast of textures and colours between the brickwork and the statue.
Great simplicity :-) fav
@stu_b - Thanks so much for the fav and the nice comment, Stu.
