Strange Statues From Around the World

I found these amazing and funny statues while surfing the net. I don’t know who took them, and in most cases, where they came from. I was surprised at the staggering number of strange statutes in the world, everything from funky cat trees to Alice in Wonderland-type oddities. If you are the author of one of these here, let me know and I’ll gladly give credit where credit is due. These are the ones that struck my fancy.

This shark is in Oxford, UK. By photographer Stephanie Jenkins. There’s quite the story behind it.

And here’s a really cute one. It’s not exactly a statue, but it is a well-known billboard that stands nearby, in Yorkville, NY. It’s the Holland Farms cows.
