Shadow Shot Sunday

This shadow is cast by one of my favourite pieces of street art...ever.

It's called "The Family of Man" and stands outside the Calgary Board of Education building in downtown Calgary. The scale of this piece is stunning. Each figure is 21 feet tall.
The previous post on this blog shows other shots of this sculpture if you're interested.

The Family of Man

I love these statues.


They stand in the heart of downtown Calgary.


Twenty one feet tall, they are austere, imposing and beautiful.


And yet they speak to man's fragility.


They are faceless, nameless, raceless.


And every time I see them I am reminded of how, beneath the skin we are all the same the world over.


For me they are a reminder to walk gently upon this earth and to treat one another with respect.


I love these statues, this piece of street art.
