photohunts: sculptures ~ daydream


  sculptures   ☀   daydream 

If  you happen to be walking down the Rambla del Raval in Barcelona, you might think you are daydreaming  (even if you are not a cat lover!) when you encounter this large bronze sculpture of Fernando Botero, a Colombian painter and sculptor who is renowned for his exaggerated, puffed up human and animal forms. .

Dimensions: 7,17 m / 23.5 ft long,  2,28 m/ 7.5 ft wide ,
                        2,16m / 7 ft tall, weight: 2200 Kg/4850 lb.

    What a fun sculpture! I'd be tempted to climb up and sit on the giant cat I wouldn't but I'd be tempted :)

    It's interesting to see that the cat doesn't have any chains screening off its space, etc.! So... people can just walk up to it and stroke it if they like? ;b

    In all the times our relatives have visited Spain and shared their photos, have never seen a photo of this wonderful cat! Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
