I mean, really, all they do is cover themselves in paint and stand still and people pay them! I could do that outside the pub!

Correct --- probably too easy -- but he sure scares the heck out of unsuspecting passersby when he reaches out to shake hands.

Living statues? Has anyone walked through Trafalgar Square recently? I do so once a month for a nautical reunion and the first time I saw them about 3, maybe 4, years ago I thought they were quite good but now when walking from one side towards Pall Mall there must be about ten of them and they are now just more tourist tat. I suppose the response is 'got to earn a living somehow' and if people want to put money in the box then that is their choice. Not mine though.

I saw some "living statues" in San Sebastian, and one of them was portraying the Statue of Liberty. She looked very authentic with very green make - up. All was going well until a young boy crept up behind her and pinched her bum.

There is often one in the city centre of York, very well done......once a lady dressed in ballet gear and standing on one foot,difficult...I have problems standing on two.

More about the theft/damage of the statues here:

https://www.wheal-martyn.com/2017/04...geted-thieves/

There is a slight connection between these statues and 'living statues' - In both cases real clothing treated to remain rigid has been used.

[BobClay]

Yes that's very sad.

[Hawkey01]

Two more:

1. Where is it and why has it dual use.

2. Where is it and who's house is it.

Also still no answer to photo 1. in post 142.

[erimus]

Can't do anything with the old one...but have been there on both the new ones:-
The Hunter is at the entrance to RAF Valley on Anglesey.
The House is Sandringham and HM The Queen wasn't in residence when the picture was taken.

I was thinking the upper reaches of Milford Haven but it doesn't look right

[Hawkey01]

Erimus,

Correct - Valley also know as commercial airport - Anglesey Airport.

Yes HM not at home to entertain us that day!

Davidjm - Sorry that's not it.

Neville

[Hawkey01]

1. What flag or who's flag is the one with the Union Jack in the corner.

#142. Did you capture the first image using Google Maps ?

[Malcolm G]

#163
No 1 - Flags of US States.
The one with the Union flag in the canton is Hawaii. (North Sandwich Islands). - 8 stripes for eight islands.


No 2 Looks something like Charlestown in Cornwall - but not 100% certain.

[Tom Alexander]

It's name and location?

[Malcolm G]

Probably either Alaska or Chile - I would opt for Alaska, but don't know which glacier.

[Hawkey01]

Cueball,

No not Google - one of my own photos.

Malcolm,

Yes both correct.

I am not taxing you all enough.

Tom,

Your Glacier - Argentina?

Missed the Alaska one for some reason...have an almost identical picture taken from Diamond Princess 5 years ago.
