Statues

Stockton

To Malone

A few weeks ago I needed a statue photograph for a contest so, I took my camera with me on a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah.  I told my traveling companion that I needed to find a statue and she spotted these statues at the Energy Solutions Arena.  I used to enjoy watching John Stockton play basketball.  I'm not a sports fan but I thought John appeared to be a player and person with a lot of class.  He was fun for me to watch. 

I had not seen these statues before and I was in awe of the sculpture's ability to capture detail. 
These statues were also at the E Center.  
 I am at a loss as to know what they represent but I think they are pretty artsy.

I had never been to the "This is the Place Monument" which my traveling companion suggested that we visit.  Once again I was impressed with the sculptor's ability to create art that had the capacity to tell a powerful story.

The statues of the ball players are stunning! In you pic with the more abstract ones - the middle seems to be the pleats of a garment... Thanks for sharing for MYM!

Particularly like the family sculpture -- being from the Midwest.
