New Yorkers have been startled and frightened more than enough.<br /><br />This somewhat reminds me of an old Candid Camera show where a man dressed in a bird costume was atop skyscapers flapping his "wings." When passersby were asked what they thought it was, they gave the most amusing answers. One woman said, "I think it's a crow." That answer made me laugh then and still does today. It was obviously one gigantic crow.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-23121864755272434112010-06-30T10:51:14.809-04:002010-06-30T10:51:14.809-04:00Eegads!

I am glad you showed close ups of them as I would never of seen some of them. Last year we were walking in Eton (famous public boys school there) when we came across a sculpture sticking out of a wall and someone (I think he might of been one of the masters at the school) passed stopped their car and explained to us that it was a Gormley sculpture. I will try and find the photograph and post on it to today with a link to your blog if that is OK!!<br /><br />Thank you for the time you spent "looking up" and again you must have a crick in your neck!! <br />Jackie in UK.http://jackieinsurrey.blogspot.co.uk/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08337359415034741431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-53691167506755626002010-06-30T02:28:42.684-04:002010-06-30T02:28:42.684-04:00That is a great idea Pat and so good of you to fin...That is a great idea Pat and so good of you to find so many.
