Are these already on the pavement or did you put them there. What a fab composition and night shot!

@lifepause -- I'm here till Monday, and mostly in meetings and such but I have a little time here and there if you have time for a photowalk!

@elaine55 They are bronze statues that are exactly as Robert Mccloskey drew them in the children's picture book, "Make Way for Ducklings." Although they are firmly secured into the ground, people still manage to steal them -- I think four have been stolen over the years but replaced.

A childhood favorite, I knew exactly where you were in an instant! I was thrilled to visit the Boston Commons and see this for myself a number of years ago! Your photo perspective is perfect!

I'm glad we are not on the road and have to pul up and warn all who come both ways - as we have and unfortunately seen cars who don't care and one little duckling got hit and I had to deal with that for the rest of the night!
