It is a Bronze Statue created by sculptor Lee Lawrie that was installed in 1937 (being that old it makes me feel young ISH), it is 15 Feet tall, which is 4.6 M, and it weighs 7 Tons (6400kg)

Very impressive statue Jay. I like the way the red light falls on the legs.
@molometer I wondered if anyone would notice or comment on the light I think it added so much to the image :)
It makes the statue look so much stronger even though it is already Atlas. Nice capture @tattoodjay
@molometer Thanks again
Nice work! This shot reminds me of a movie scene for some reason...I couldn’t tell you which one though lol!! 😅
@crosheille Thanks I am sure i have seen it in a few movies but I couldnt name any of them either lOL
That is pretty cool.
