The mother of all statues....

Patience....or is it Fortitude? One of the the two lions guarding the New York Public Library

An awesome decorative stoop in a street near my hotel

Grand Central Terminal

At Columbia University

The last one of the fountain is perfect -- both a beautiful photo of a great subject, and perfect for the mythological representation. I would not mind having a print of that one to hang on my wall. Thank you for sharing your trip with your readers.
