Captain Cook, Sydney Statues: Project!
This bronze sculpture in Hyde Park is of Captain James Cook, the English explorer who was the first European to navigate and map the eastern coastline of Australia. The sculpture has been dressed up for the Sydney Statues: Project! as part of the Art & About Sydney festival. A photo of this statue at other times can be seen here.
Captain Cook looks so handsome in his colourful dress!
ReplyDeleteAh, he is dressed up, isn't he!! Great shot! And again, what incredible blue skies! The depth of their color never ceases to amaze me!

Have a happy day*
and thanks for sharing all your marvellous photos*******
ooohh I had forgotten about Thomas Woolmer's statue! He did some great work and Hyde Park is a great location for Cook.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they've done the ship on the back of his coat.
ReplyDeleteMuy realista, parece que la estatua este vestida :D

How cool, I love that the statue is dressed up. The colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ann, I had to include the shot from the back to show off the magnificent boat on his cape.
ReplyDeleteThat's just too funny! Dressing up the statues just for fun. We don't do anything 'just for fun' anymore. You made me miss it. Terribly.
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun to see them all dressed up for the event, really quite cute.
ReplyDeleteLiterature was not my favorite subject. I enjoyed just plain ole English. However, I certainly enjoyed my trip and history of Captain Cook.
