As I mentioned in yesterday’s post on Urban Landscape, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting High Line Park. It’s such a fantastic way to get different view of the city in a more unhurried fashion. It may have been rather breezy during my Sunday exploration, but that just added to the fascinating vistas.
Here’s one that really caught my attention…
Yes, there is a gigantic, hyper-realistic pigeon statue on the High Line; and it is titled “Dinosaur”. It’s a pigeon with the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex! This sculpture was create by Iván Argote, an artist who lives and works in Paris, France. A great description of this project can be found at this link. The video is worth watching!
The other thought that crossed my mind when I saw this pigeon was the B-side of Elton John’s Daniel release: Skyline Pigeon.
