Douglas, thank you for pointing the way to Anthony Gormley.  What an amazing sculptor.  It took me a few minutes when I saw the figure on top of the building to realize it was not a person.  And a big relief too!!

Be well,
Richard

When we were over in San Gimignano in Italy about 8 or 9 years ago, there was a Gormley on top of one of the medieval buildings looking like a base jumper stricken rigid with stage fright.
