    A really great series! I especially like 4 & 5. I also like the lighting in 6.thumb.gif

    rolleyes1.gif I saw the first shot yesterday on its own and I thought very cool shot, it almost doesn't look real. rolleyes1.gif

    Great series--My favorite remains #1 because its in silhouette--

    Great series, Randy. #2 is my favorite....got a little detail in the cow but the cowboy is still in silhouette. Creating that art must have kept a herd of sculptors busy for a long time.

    Take care,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Liz,

    Yeah, I had posted the first one, then thought "what am I going to do with these others", so I added them later.

    #1 is my favorite also. Thanks for the comments.

    Curious: what about the first one would have led you to believe that it wasn't real? Or better said: that the cowboy & horse weren't alive...

    Hey Tom,


    Evidently it took 3 years to complete the project.


    So far this is what I've found through research:

    PIONEER PLAZA CATTLE DRIVE

    "In Pioneer Plaza in downtown Dallas, the world's largest bronze sculpture of its kind depicts a cattle drive of 3 cowboys and 50 steers. Each piece was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, TX. The sculpture is on the site of the Shawnee Trail, which was a popular cattle drive trail in the 1850s." uncommondays.com

    Here is a historic link about the Shawnee Trail of which crossed near this site.

    That's just it, I did think it was real--but I remembered your cell phone shots--that's why I did't comment originally--because I did think it was real (for a moment) but didn't want to sound like a schmuck in case it wasn't.
