My World Tuesday - Animal Sculptures

It's time to visit My World Tuesday again and see many interesting things from around our small world. Here are a couple more sculptures from downtown Colorado Springs. This first one is called Double Eagle and it's by Jim McCain. I really like the curves on this one and how the two eagles fit together.
The second is Bison “Bison Americanus” by Richard Jagoda. It's a very interesting contrast with the huge animal full of holes making it much lighter.
I need to go back downtown and spend more time walking around, there's lots more to see.

    I like the bison...although I'm sure a real bison looks a lot meaner than that! The smooth lines of the eagle sculpture are beautiful, too :D

    What great sculptures! And your photos are terrific as always, Al! I, too, love the smooth lines of the eagle. Hope you have a great week!

    Two beautiful and very different sculptures; I favor the double eagle. Could it be mother and chick.

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but I haven't been "downtown" in CO Springs. These are interesting sculptures - such detail in the Bison. Thanks for the tour.

    man i love sculptures. Both of these are great but I dig the buffalo more. I've been living in the south way too long and miss my western roots. My grandparents had a farm and horses and cattle when I was boy and there is something so calming about these animals they are so stoic.

    The two sculptures are so different from each other in style, and they both look great!

    Maybe you'll find it interesting: Jagoda means blueberry. Anyway I like the eagles, so non naturalistic.

    Great shots! The tree makes the second one look like a giant 'chia bison'.

    Many years ago ( more than 30 year) I was at a park near the Niagara falls. A bison was giving birth. it was incredible. The keepers were trying to keep the others away.
