Yup. What a great idea for a statue. Does anyone know where I can get a piccy? I meant to get one but never got down there with a digi camera.

Wouldn't think to stop and ask?

I know if I saw something like this my first reaction would be to drive by and get straight on the internet and ask about it

Nobody expects to see a glorious golden cushion statue. Why is it horrible?

But what does it represent?
Was it fighting in the war of independence?

There's a thing. I promised to get him a picture of the cushion for himself and never got around to it because of the traffic busyness around the area etc. Now the weather is too crap and my digi camera is missing presumed drunk. Does anyone have a piccy? I googled but got nothing.

Haven't got a piccy but I shall aspire to get one soon!

Arr, yeah, so traffic is barely moving, not a lot of places to park anyway, but you think that curious people (and surely they'll all be curious) should pull up and ask ... who exactly should they ask, the by-standers (who'll probably know not a lot, but be happy to offer rumours about crazy foreigners)? Or the guards/fire-fighters etc who are busy dealing with whatever - I'm sure they've all got time for question.

The best thing that 99% of us can do in that situation is concentrate on the road and pass on by without rubber-necking.
