Wordless Wednesday - Excuse Me!

My favorite cousin has been traveling in Canada recently and her reports got me interested in going back to a 1995 trip that I took. This bronze sculpture has always cracked me up. It's called "Photo Session" by Seward Johnson (1984). It's in the Queen Elizabeth Park overlooking Vancouver. There's four figures in the installation--the photographer and his three subjects (including the fresh one in the middle!).

Bonus photos-part of the Queen Elizabeth Park is laid out in an old stone quarry so you needed to go down the steps to see the plants up close. Here's a couple of views from above:
