    Cool best statue *ever*?????

    i'm not normally an arty one, but check this out (snapped it yesterday in tours in france)..



    ok, the angle makes it look a tad bigger than it really was (probably still over 15 ft tall) but its just *soo* cool!

    twas in a town called 'tours' - basically its a real historic old town, but mixed into it is very modern style and archetecture, and it works brilliantly as a combination.. that square was right in the middle of the drinking area of town, and was swarmed with young people on a saturday night.. i think the statue suited the area perfectly..

    Tours is a lovely town alright, pretty sure that statue wasn't there when I last visited 10 or so years ago. Anyway, thumbs up from me.
