That first one is in a very nice setting.
So now I'm thinking about a beer even though it's way too early.

There are actually 2 copies of "The Hiker" in Bristol. The Bronze (shown here) is on the "Memorial Boulevard". Its a mile long divided park drive lined with veteran's and local memorials. A granite obelisk sits in the main intersection with the names of all WWI vets on it (those that died are engraved in the granite, those that served are on Bronze plaques...my grandad included)
The second "Hiker", a copper clad, full sized, working model the artist used, sits in the driveway to a local park (Rockwell Park)

There is something so touching about memorials, be it statues, monuments, obelisks, or just a stone. Great pix and feelings to go with them!

These are great - You may already have them, but if not there are some unique ones in Plymouth and Duxbury.
