Post local art or artist you have seen, that you would like to share with others.
It doesn't matter if it is links or the actual image.

The Thinker Statue by Auguste Rodin

This is on the University of Louisville campus. Students used to put a roll of
toilet paper in his folded arm.

'The Thinker' is one of those classics we all love.

Here's a favourite statue of mine from the grounds of The Australian National University. She is the godess Saraswati. The statue was a gift from the Indonesian government in 1969.

Much prettier than "The Thinker." I tried to attach the image like you
just did, but I didn't have any luck. I've visited Cairns, Melbourne and
Sydney.

it's gorgeous Couchcarrot, and not a statue you ever tire of seeing. I'm from Sydney originally... did you have a chance to see the harbour? My sister and her husband are visiting their daughter in Cairns this Christmas. Do you work at the University in Louisville?

The image needs to be attached saved as a gif... if that helps.

No. I don't work there. My late dad graduated from there.

I did see the harbor in Sydney, but I was afraid to climb the bridge
like some of the other tour members paid to do. I spent a lot
of time at the Circle Quay. Which I pronounced K-W-A-Y
until the concierge at the Wentworth Hotel corrected me and
said it's pronounced KEY.

Circular Quay is nice for a stroll .. haven't been there in years. When my mum lived in Sydney we would always take the kids to Luna Park and eat lunch under the Harbour Bridge. Loved doing that. I haven't climbed the Harbour Bridge either... although I'd like do one day. My boyfriend has a real fear of heights, so I'll probably have to take my son with me.

Sorry to hear about your father passing. What did he graduate in?

I have a few things to organise (and remember) before leaving here in around an hour's time..... enjoyed chatting with you. Hope you have a lovely Christmas day.
