Street sculptures

In my town we like street sculptures, there are many of them.

Some of them are made because municipality bought them, not so many of that type.

A lot of them is the gifts from city's artists to us.

If one can make good enough sculpture, one can present it to city, and municipality will place it somewhere. 

Many of them have special topic, and located in special place to support that topic.

For instance:

this bird situated in front of perinatal center.

In Russia we still believe that we got new baby from a stork (bird).

This sculpture kind of strange, and from time to time there are some debates should we keep it there, or demount.

Our city is industrial, and our industry related to metal, may be because of that we have so many metal sculptures - almost all of the are made from metal.

Some of them just a joke:

that is our the statue of independence

Some of them referring to famous books and stories, some just funny.

I prepared the album with 40 photos of our sculptures, there :https://yadi.sk/a/FaEeGpOKronAC
