From our recent Italy trip, a street performer. Obviously, not really metal but he so reminded me of the bronze sculpture done by George Segal that is part of the FDR memorial, the Bread Line, I couldn't help but snap a picture or two.

Great photos! Those street "sculpture" performers are very cool, I've seen them in Venice too. This one really does look like a metal statue.
Hope you're having a nice holiday weekend!

At first glance, it does all appear metal! Neat!
I did Photo Hunt today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and leave your link. :)

Fantastic photo. I've never heard of the sculpture performers before.
If you have time stop by my metal photos.

Sandi, but of course we "paid" him. I wouldn't feel right taking the picture if I didn't shtoop him a little.
JylnC, they're all over Rome and lately I've seen them in certain areas of the city. We saw one in London too but not so much a sculpture; I'll have to look to see if I have that picture - it was very clever.
