Here the second guy is again.  I’ve nearly collided with him more than once.

And here’s the last one.  I have no idea how they make him balance.  Or why he’s barefoot.

  1. All these are great, I really like them!

  2. His head must be very heavy.

  3. Thanks JM!

    Chris I suspect you’re right.

  4. Hi beth, I had a close encounter with the ‘walking man’ last time I came to NC and it was a bit spooky. I do not know why but I find these statues intimidating. Maybe that the aim they are there for…Ciao. A.

  5. Antonella I suspect it’s partly because they look so real but are larger than life. I always expect him to move before I remember he’s a statue and get scared when I remember!
