A Frozen Leap, a photo from Ohio, Midwest

Photographer's Note

We are looking at Large Leaping Hare by the British sculptor Barry Flanagan (1941 - 2009) in front of the entrance to Toledo Museum of Art. According to The Telegraph, ”In 1979 Flanagan spotted a hare in the window of a butcher's shop, took it home and made a clay model of it, which was cast at the small foundry he used in a former Spratt's dog-biscuit factory. The result was his Leaping Hare, the precursor of his series of hares which, like rabbits, multiplied thereafter.“

Hello Murat.

The giant hare sculpture almost seems to have a head supplanted onto a human body much like the Minotaur and many others from Greek mythology. The classical Ionic columns in the bg add mood and perhaps credence to this observation. Tfs!

Gunaydin Murat,
the statue and the building behind well placed in the frame, used all the picture space and effectively balanced the mild light.
The snow cover provide a nice white, I guess in summer times it looks a whole different.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Murat,

A nice winter picture with statue in centre of the picture.
Pleasant composition, nice sharp and clear taken.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Murat.
The sculpture is quite amusing, maybe more funny than a truly beautiful work of art, and it has been given a place outside the museum where nobody could miss it. It's a nice photo with pleasantly mild tones of green, grey and beige.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Murat

Great to see Flannagan's hare popping up here too. I've seen it a few times before, though I don't exactly remember where. Playful scene in the snow!

Hello Murat,
Cool photo of this large hare in full flight. You captured it from a good POV which included the classic architecture of the museum in the background. Well spotted.
