Scenic Sunday--Statue
This was one of many statues at Belle Isle. I love looking at powerful expression of emotions from statue like this. No, not gargoyles though; they are too scary for me.
I am not quite sure if this was a ram or not. It is kind of difficult to tell when I can't see the face. If I remember correctly, this statue stayed in the circle of Belle Isle near where the zoo used to be. From the main road, you can actually make a turn and go to the zoo without circling around the island.
From this picture, you can tell that I had to look way way up, but still I can't clearly see the face. Maybe when summer comes around, I will have a better chance, but then again, maybe not, since with warmer weather there will be more people around too. I'm strange that way!

You might be right, Icy, it does look like a ram. An excited ram... The second composition with the ram at the side kinda have a character to it. And a lot more clouds for extra texture. Am not an expert (teehee) but I saw something like that effect in one of Doods' photo mags. Happy Sunday! Mwa!
That is a dramatic pose and I love the colors on it. I wonder if it's some kind of antelope.
ya, i would love to see its face.
It is a Ram and a very excited pose! Nice!!
This reminds me of a commedia del'arte figure! A little like a mix of reality and fantasy! Fascinating photos!
i love the framing of your shot Icy, I can not tell if it is ram or something else.
I don't remember this statue. I think I didn't fully appreciate some of these things when I was able to go there often. I remember the zoo though. I used to love going there. I wish they would have kept it.
That's quite a neck bend on that creature! Wow! It must be very angry!
"I'm strange that way!"
But you will be strange too if you never do it.
It is a Ram.. but very magnificent! Really lovely..
it must be looking terrific when the setting sun's rays fall on it!
Love you

Neat looking ram, love the photo and the angle.
What a striking pose!
It looks like a ram to me as well in a fantastic pose. What a creative sculpture.
It is a most unusual pose - very eye-catching.
What an incredible statue of a powerful ram. It looks like it is in the middle of a great battle. Beautifully captured Icy.
Wow! If it was alive we would not be standing around gawking would we? We would get out of it's way. Magnificent!
Very nice capture. I like the posture of the ram ;-)
A beautiful statue!
cool!
