I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.
45ReplyOh damn, thanks for pointing that out!
13ReplyI was going to mention the guy, but I thought it was too obvious and people would say they could see him already.

But it's upside down. Somebody.....flip the bird.
I'll see myself out.

It just got its nails done and it's shocked at how pretty they look
17ReplyThat's pretty damn awesome.
14ReplyThis is actually incredible.
13ReplyThis isn't just mildly interesting
11ReplyI’d have to yell CAAAWWWWWWWWW
9ReplyIt looks like it was carved from wood but it's gotta be rock, right?
8ReplyIt is. Actually the entire 'hill' is a big rock.

One of the sacred beasts from BOTW?
7ReplyThey cheated giving it outstretched wings. I'd like to know what the largest bird statue with folded wings in the world is.
6ReplyI'd like to know that too, but I'm not sure how giving it outstretched wings is cheating. It's something birds do.
13ReplyIt's not really important either way. This is still not the world's largest statue of a sparrow, which is a record most people would care about.

Is this where the term "spread eagle" comes from?
5ReplySuper Mario Sunshine vibes
5ReplyInstagrammers for no reason at all: I've always wanted to go to India.
3ReplySo much giant statues in India... Are they compensating something?
2ReplyThis one is different from the recent giant statues built. This is more of a tourist place, not related to any political party.
8ReplyMost of the world's giant statues were made in NK. I wonder about this one.

Is there an antenna on its head?
2ReplyI think it's probably a lightning rod.

Omg. Rub his belly!
2ReplyI've been playing Dragon's Dogma 2 too much, I have the sudden urge to jump onto it and mash the triangle button.
2Reply“I said hold it still!”
“Dad it’s a hawk how am I supposed to hold it still?”
“Use this stick I dunno. Just hold it for a minute while I sculpt it”
the sculpture:
1ReplyI swear, if someone made some kind of science fiction themed video game or cartoon (why not both?), a live version of this bird needs to be part of it, it's this good.
