HM Stanley statue St Asaph

Following a week that I would rather forget ,  thought I would post a few pics of the new HM Stanley statue of " DR Livingston I Presume ?" fame in St Asaph . 

Denbigh statue


Quite different to the one in Denbigh , here they have taken an alternative idea and done more of a totem pole idea showing different eras of the explorers life . 


As with every new public installation there have been some criticism , the funniest I have heard is that the image of HM Stanley on top looks more like " A Monkey in a Fez ,"  and also that it looks a little phallic

Take a look and make your own mind up ...................

I have posted the pics in High res but put a filter on it to stop any Right click save as action !
