Everywhere we go we find statues and sculptures. Very often they are made to commemorate a part of history or culture, sometimes they are history themselves like the ones we can find in the open air museum Florence. But also the more modern ones have found their place in the parks or squares of all cities.
Making pictures of these statues and add your own way of looking at them in an original way is sometimes difficult but often very rewarding.
Maybe this topic can show us your view on the well known but also many unknown statues of the world.

Ray9, you're a real collector of statues. You must know a lot about them. Maybe you can add some comments to the pictures.
