This is statue of a bow and arrow near Fisherman's Wharf. I couldn't find any information on it but you know I like statues. I like this more for the picture of the Bay Bridge in the back ground. The Bay Bridge connects Oakland and San Francisco. It is a double decker bridge and it is quite amazing. A little bit intimidating to drive over what with all the distractions around you! There is a $4.00 toll charge to cross this bridge. Fortunately, you only pay one way....so I guess it really works out to be $2.00 either way!
Lisbon haves a bridge quite similar to that one.
ReplyDeleteAnd who was he giant that shot that arrow? :)
I told you already that I walked back and forth over the Golden Gate, but not this one. Was in SF / Oakland later professionally and crossed by car. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Neva, this double decker bridge it is quite amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou travel a lot, Neva!
ReplyDeleteI visited a part of San Francisco two years and a half ago. I loved it there. I should have a look in my photos to see if I have taken the photo of that original sculpture.
Hi Neva, this week was another hectic one, so I’m sorry to have been a bit absent. Anyhow TGIF, so I managed to drop by to see some wonderful pictures. It seems that you were also moving a lot: SF, Chicago... ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved to see the Alcatraz picture. Never got that close...
Hope you enjoy Oia and its sunset at Blogtrotter.
Have a great weekend!

I haven't been across that bridge in ages. Nice photo of the statue, it's interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. One can't walk across the Bay bridge and it may be pretty but at commute time its a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the name and history of the sculpture. I'll have to scout it out if I can.

ReplyDeleteInteresting. Just a giant bow & arrow for no reason? Some "artists" are just mostly odd, no? :)
ReplyDeleteVery neat. They must have been really big to use that bow and arrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot, Neva. And isn't that some mass transit coming into view on the right side? You know how much I love mass transit. I Googled and found out that piece is called Cupid's Span.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is a kind of tribute to the Indians who lived there before the land was used by other people for different things. It would be interesting to find out.
ReplyDeleteNeva, do not click on fenrisar comment! It is evil.
