Mane Attraction
‘Mane Attraction’
A leonine statue guards the entrance to a downtown Auckland hotel.
I am lured into a photographic cat-ture of the sculpted beast. Not for the first time on this blog….
This image and accompanying poor puns come at the recent suggestion of blogger Graham Stephen, whose rather stellar artistic work may be found at:

Old Head
‘Old Head’
An old head indeed, but in fact a new- ish double life size bronze bust of Sir John Logan Campbell, a founding father of modern Auckland.
The sculpture lies in the central park on land gifted by him to the city.
The sculptor has even gone to the detail of including the subject’s initials on a monogrammed breast pocket kerchief – nice touch!
