Manzanillo Statues
Author: peabodyWhile we wandered around on Manzanillo’s waterfront, I was impressed by several of the statues I saw there. They varied from primitive, to modern. The bronze statues captured a sense of motion that was quite special. I’ll just insert the pictures and you can see for yourself.
You know this guy is a hard worker, hauling his fish to market.
Pulling in the nets. There are a couple of stylized fish, starfish, shrimp, etc in the net.
The sense of motion here is fabulous. Between the flapping coat tails and the pitched deck, you know this guy has a bit of a breeze blowing.
This one was different. It was a much older style, I got the feeling it was a fish/ocean/fertility goddess image.
This statue is a ways out to the bay, she’s holding out a starfish, I think.
And finally, something completely different, our favorite pooch:
If you get the chance to walk the waterfront in Manzanillo, pass along my respect to these and the other works of art there.
