Very interesting. Just curious do you know what the monument is about? It does appear some of the crowd is looking towards the heavens as if to be seeing something that has wowed them. One looks almost like worshipping and some in the back are bowed down. Very cool. One not knowing can really use their imagination here.

I love the way the iPhone is shaped really you know? The ability to capture even in transit, but wow what a beautiful sculpture work, looks like something made out of marble or brick really.
Capturing so much beautiful place, makes one aware of the beauty surrounding life

I don't see it as a very flattering portrayal of humanity.

A very interesting sculpture, @ericvancewalton. Not only for its size but also for the details. The idea that people are in three steps or levels, calls my attention powerfully, no matter if they are families: men, women and children. If you notice, those who are in the front row are like waving and pointing at something on the horizon. Those in the back are leaning like looking down or helping others get on. This image reminds me of people standing on sidewalks to watch parades or floats go by on holidays. In fact, look, there's even a father with his son mounted on his shoulders to make him see better. Quite a festive sculpture! Hugs

Yeah sure timing is indeed important to get shots like this and like the way you said all this is indeed worth the travel to get experience and all :)

They look like the butter sculptures from the Minnesota State Fair.

Poor man 😪, maybe he was tired 😁 or maybe he sat down only for bother tourist hehehe.

I missed this when I visited this place! Nice sculpture. Worth traveling to see amazing things like this

@ericvancewalton excellent find, many guesses can be made about the image, from what I just read, it is one of the most photographed sculptures of the place
thank you very much for letting us know
I wish you a prosperous week

I guy who was crying cause something bad happened to him and he found that spot just besides the sculpture to let that feeling go away.

This is perfect message for this pic
<blockquote>My second thought was it appears the people huddled together in the sculpture are shaming or warning this businessman to get off of his phone and use his time more wisely.</blockquote>

Uses of mobile phone is become a big problem . You gave a good message with your writing and with this capture .

This is such a good piece of art . But this man is fully lost in his phone and not watching the beauty of this place .

Excellent photo, my friend and I saw in this sculpture a certain motivation of the crowd in choosing the direction of their life, as if they tell us where to move! Thank you, Eric.

Wonderful photo @ericvancewalton!
This group of people have seen something bad and the guy is busy passing on the news. But if one saw his stance in days before cell phones, he would have looked quite dejected! Nowadays he's sitting there all by himself yet not alone as he has access to the world right there in his hands! 
Will definitely be looking at that link as I wonder what event the artist is depicting or is it just a message he's trying to convey?
Enjoy your travels!

Going to different places really teach us something in different way

You really captured a moment here with this guy missing the whole thing.
Not sure what the sculptures are about.  Looking forward to reading, the artist did a great job.  What are they sculpted out of?  So smooth like butter.

You have a good eye my friend. Check out some of my work and let me know if you liked it :)

Realmente es así, varias veces no nos damos cuenta de todo lo que tenemos a nuestro alrededor justamente por el motivo de estar tan encerrados en lo del día a día, Gracias por Compartir
