Walking along Oxford Street in Mount Hawthorn yesterday we came across the bronze sculpture here of a man in a hard hat emerging from a manhole in the pavement. Poor chap was covered in cobwebs and a splodge of paint! As hard as I tried couldn't find out what he had been doing down there before climbing out of the manhole or who sculpted him doing so.. all I do know is that the thought of being underground with only a small hole to squeeze back out of made me feel proper claustrophobic 😉 Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..
...what a tough way to earn a living!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard work in the mine!
ReplyDeleteIt is not a safe job and they always fear for their lives!
Have a nice Friday too!
Thank you for the hugs!
I sent you hugs back, from the Netherlands! 🌷💖
Does he have any legs down there, I'm wondering.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is that poor guy, stuck there forever. I hope passersby are nice to him.
ReplyDeleteOur posts rhyme today, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOdd, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like this one a lot, Grace!
ReplyDeleteUnique and Perthian!
ReplyDeleteI like this too, very unique and creative. Thinking outside the hole. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteHe was so involved in his work he became petrified. It is a really neat statue. We often forget about utility workers who go down the man holes.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great sculpture, just hope no one trips over it.
ReplyDeleteGreat statue Grace.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marie Smith: Unique and very Perthian.
ReplyDeleteGreat , Thanks a lot for the post.
ReplyDeleteOh, Grace, you made me laugh again with already your second sentence! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the third.
It reminds me of when I went to a book store on third floor in a shopping centre here - the escalators had glassed walls, it was horrible!
I asked the cash-out girl where the lift was as I´,m afraid of heights and she said she has no idea as she cannot use the lift as she is claustrophobic.
We had to meet, huh?! LOL :-)
Espectacular esta escultura e aproveito para desejar um bom fim-de-semana.

That looks scary, you feel the need to help the poor guy coming up indeed!
ReplyDeleteHello Grace,
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny. A very nice statue.
I think when you walk there by evening and you are not really known there, that you are shocked. So funny!!
Best regards,
Marco
A nice statue.
ReplyDeleteClassic
ReplyDeletei have worked in those situations sometimes... cool find! ew :)
ReplyDeleteit reminds me of a statue in New York of a man who hails a taxi in front of a building. I'd have to put it online someday
ReplyDeletehohoho I like it!
ReplyDeleteI've been down under the sidewalk in a hole like that when I worked at the gas co. Scary but it was part of my job and I managed it OK.
