Statue of a Shepherd

I suppose that should have been more carefully researched by the sculpture and the dog does look a little strange, but I do like this kind of sculpture. Apart from those few things, it is a very nice piece of art. I am pleased you filled your time well whilst your wife was shopping Keith. LOL!

beautiful capture

a great tribute to a working man!

Oh, I like this sculpture a lot! I CAN understand people's annoyance that the artist didn't do any homework before embarking on such a big project. A total shame because it ought to be loved and admired but I expect people in the know are annoyed every time they see it. Thankfully, I expect there aren't that many people who could possible tell the difference of the important differences.

You remind me of when Steve has shopping to do in a home improvement/lumber/tool store and I decide to come along with my camera. I toodle around the parking lot and have a grand time photographing all of the plants, leaves, flowers, birds, etc, etc...it's such fun, isn't it? :D

Schitterende opname,Keith van dit mooie kunstwerk.
Bedankt ook voor de leuke beschrijving,van de reacties van de boeren.
Hartelijke groeten......Frans.

Really like the sculpture and the Shepard is worthy of praise even if is historically out of sync with the area, how much art is factually correct I wonder, Never mind a lovely and interesting capture Keith

Simply beautiful Keith.

I like this sculpture.

Thanks very much for all your comments and stars folks..............glad you all enjoyed this one!

Unpassend oder nicht - ich mag die Statue.

Thanks Wilhelm.............I was pleased to be able to get a decent shot...........there are normally children climbing all over it :-))

Funny story, lovely sculpture, anyway!

Thanks Diane..............it was worse because the artist was local :-))

I think it's a lovely sculpture, but a pity it is not really true to the area!
