    1. I thought I'd use a photo that had a couple of people for scale. It gives you a better idea of how big it actually is.

  5. I like your angle here Jim, was a good idea to include the man to give an idea of the size of this monument.

  6. It is also nice that all those people in the buildings can enjoy looking at it out their windows since it is so huge!
