Spear Thrower

Awhile ago I posted a photo of a statue called The Bowman. This is the companion piece, The Spearman. Both are bronze and created by a sculptor named Ivan Mestrovic. As with Bowman, the Spearman's spear is intentionally missing allowing the viewers complete the piece with their imaginations.

Scary Shadows

I liked the shadow that was created by this eagle statue, by Frederick Cleveland Hibbard, in Grant Park. It looked like one of those cartoon scary monster shadows. I'll have to come back in the summer to take a picture of this statue when it is actually a fountain.

A side note: My sunrise picture from March 3 is on the NBC Channel 5 site in their weather slideshow "Proof That Spring is on its Way". Mine's the one with Navy Pier in it.

The Bowman

This is a 17 foot tall bronze statue near Michigan Avenue and Congress. It is called The Bowman and was the work of a sculptor named Ivan Mestrovic. When looking up information about this piece, I found out that the archery bow is intentionally missing. The artist meant for the viewers to imagine the weapon.
