PhotoHunt - Male
The statues shown below were taken outside the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, one of the most famous art galleries in the world. Within the walls of the courtyard, there are 28 male statues of famous figures from the worlds of politics, science, art, literature, the judiciary and also religious figures. The sculptures are amazing and I love the intricate sculpted details of each piece.

ReplyDeleteUffizi Gallery is a wonderful place I always return to when I visit Florence. I love the very old paintings and sculptures. Your photos are very detailed.
ReplyDeleteAttention to detail is awesome and that's what makes these statues standout. Did you photography all 28 statues or just these 6?.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing…always enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will show other statues too.
Thanks for your kind comments and for appreciating my photos everyone.
ReplyDeleteMariuca, Windsmoke, Olga,
Due to the large crowds everywhere, I didn't manage to capture all 28 statues. We didn’t anticipate such a massive crowd at the museum too. We arrived at the museum only to discover the tickets had been sold out for the day and was already selling tickets for the next day. :(
have a wonderful weekend.
Great choice for the photohunt this week. Beautiful sculptures.
ReplyDeleteSo... are there any female statues to go with the 28 male ones? Have a feeling the answer's no... ;S
ReplyDeletePhew lucky these men were not like your earlier 6 men in their birthday suit looking down searching for penny haha. Great pixz tQ.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful statues. Happy hunting.

ReplyDeleteAh Yo!!!!! No important women? LOL
ReplyDeleteWho did you travel with? He didn't mind you spend so much time take so many men photos?
This is very interesting! It reminds me of the famous building in Pittsburgh called "Carnegie Music Hall" where they have tall statues of famous musicians outside like Mozart, Beethoven and etc etc...
