I'll bite. Anyone that's been to SD should be able to ID most of these since they're almost all in the same spot:

Every city should have tons of statues. A few from Hamilton, Ontario:
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ille/00062.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...amilton/63.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hamilton/8.jpg A monument to a decisive battle during the War of 1812: http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...reek/00053.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...reek/00060.jpg |
From Asheville:
This sculpture has a name but nobody knows what it is. It's known, by everyone, as "that big metal tree at the Federal Building." http://p.vtourist.com/601289-Nice_Sc...-Asheville.jpg The Vance Monument, erected in 1897 to honor Zebulon Baird Vance, Civil War-era governor of North Carolina, born just north of town. A statue of Vance stands in the US Capitol, and he was known as an outspoken advocate of tolerance. Every year, the local Jewish congregations and the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution lay a wreath on his grave in rememberance of that. http://p.vtourist.com/833244-Things_To_Do-Asheville.jpg A very bad bronze copy of the gravestone angel that inspired the title of Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel. The real marble deal is located in a cemetery in Hendersonville. http://p.vtourist.com/833308-Local_C...-Asheville.jpg Statues at Biltmore House. http://p.vtourist.com/833315-statue_...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/834702-one_of_...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/834703-grounds...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/1041747-detail...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/1041745-one_of...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/1380979-Travel...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/1900798-Statue...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/2841397-Travel...-Asheville.jpg http://p.vtourist.com/2862962-Ramada...-Asheville.jpg The 'Crossroads' station on the Asheville Urban Trail, in Pack Square. It honors the fact that Asheville was born as a tourist town when, from the 1790's up through the mid 1800's, farmers driving their livestock to market from Greenville, SC to Greeneville, TN found the city to be a convenient halfway place to stop and rest. http://p.vtourist.com/1363046-Things...-Asheville.jpg The 'Flat Iron' station on the Urban Trail. It stands at the base of the Flat Iron Building, and also marks the fact that the Asheville Laundry once stood nearby. http://p.vtourist.com/2231379-in_fro...-Asheville.jpg http://www.world-guides.com/images/a...ron_statue.jpg 'Past and Promise' on the Urban Trail. This little bronze girl has become something of a city symbol. People like to dress her up. She's been found wearing a bra and a party hat after a downtown festival, and a coat when snow threatens. http://p.vtourist.com/2255210-whimsi...-Asheville.jpg The Grove Arcade Public Market. Meet the griffins, Roger and Ben. http://p.vtourist.com/3145403-Things...-Asheville.jpg I believe this is Roger. My monitor's kind of dark, so I can't read the plaque all that well. http://p.vtourist.com/3145405-Things...-Asheville.jpg Civil War monument. http://scvcamp15.com/images/chickamauga_statue.jpg 'Continuum.' The first public sculpture placed downtown, in 1983. http://www.ashevillearts.com/myimage...gy%20Loop2.jpg The statue of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in MLK Park. http://www.hallierart.com/images/pub...heville_sm.jpg Last but not least, the 'Appalachian Stage' station on the Urban Trail, on the little plaza in front of the Civic Center. http://www.city-data.com/cpicv/vfiles15857.jpg |
This is a beautiful thread, so it needs a bump. I'd like to see more statues and monuments. You DC and NYC people could flood the thread!

Just a few photos I took around the Quad Cities...

That entire cemetery (Chippiannock) is on the historical register. That particular monument was made in Belgium in the late 1800's for the Cable family.

Here's another angle. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...kyi/009_6A.jpg People will look at it and say things like...."Ooooh....well....it's a hammer.....why is it broken....and why is it soooo damn big?"..."What does it mean?" I suppose they're really not that bad but they do have me asking WTF, but maybe that's the whole idea. |

The pics from the Hamiltons (Ontario and Ohio) are really sweet. The detail in those statues from Hamilton, ON is amazing! What do they commemorate?

^From Hamilton, OH....the one with the cape, in the street, is for Alexander Hamilton (the city's namesake), and the other is the Soldiers, Sailors & Pioneers Monument.
