Statuesque Hats

1900s Stetson on one of the many mannequins located at my work.

That is a pretty snazzy combo right there.
Great pics all around gentlemen!

An interesting bronze in Innsbruck, Austria:

Randall; I do enjoy that statue. I know it as a statue located in front of the Ottoburg Building in Innsbruck. It was introduced to me as a Memorial to 1809 Tirolean Freedom Fighters. The resturaunt in the Ottoburg is quite fancy and has dynamite food. I wanted to see Innsbruck without the pressures of athletic competition and a couple of years my wife and I got to re-visit Innsbruck. Brought back and created a bunch of precious memories.

You and your best enjoy your world tour sir! Thanks bunches for sharing.

From this summer:

Couldn't bring myself to put the hat on the statue. 2000 years kinda intimidated me.

+1...!
Mike, another winning shot there, too.

Lotsa, is this Pompeii, Rome?

 

[Lotsahats]

Should have said--that's Caesarea, Israel.

 

[Rogera]

I just had to...



I think he looks good!

 

[DesertDan]

So do I. :eusa_clap

[Short Balding Guy]

He does, although his companion Boo Boo and friends need fedoras also. Entertaining shot.

Roger - I'm surprised he let you have it back

 

[Rogera]

Richard, he knew better. I told him Art Fawcett made it and he could only wear it for a minute, he understood

Eric, thanks. His companions definitely could have used hats. He was the biggest of the brutes therefore he got the honor.

I find it hard to believe something so seemingly unwieldy like a chainsaw can produce such interesting art.

Roger, the bears here are no where near as civilized.

I saw this guy a while back and forgot to post him:

 

[Huertecilla]

Oscar Wilde (with bowler) and the estonian Edward Wilde;

Not a shadow of the Dublin statue but the artist, who got it sóóó right, sadly omitted his flaboyant Fedora there;

If only his fedora had been there...

One can easily imagine Wilde, adorned by his unapologetic smoking jacket, shimmering trousers, and cheeky smile, flicking his head towards a US Customs Control officer to offer: “I have nothing to declare but my genius.” He struts on, head held high, his heavily polished, charnockite-granite-black shoes clicking loudly as he exits.

I wasn't going to give him my hat in case I had to fight him to get it back.
