Mr Calvin by maggiemae

Mr Calvin

Calvin Coolidge to be exact, stands on a street corner here. He is shown with his big Stetson hat and cowboy boots and is standing next to a saddle that was made especially for him by Rapid City saddle maker Bud Duhamel, The Duhamel family still resides in Rapid City.
He is the 30th President and did a lot of good according to my reading. 1923 to 1929.
Very cool

He looks a bit more robust than President Jimmy Carter.....more of a cowboy type than an over your arm coat man! They are very nicely carved sculptures! I like that you caught the motor bike too.......

Cool capture. The statue man looks like he is lifting his hat in appreciation for the motorcycle and rider. Wonderfully composed.

That would be him, and I like your choice of editing capturing the biker in the background
