    I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.

      I was going to mention the guy, but I thought it was too obvious and people would say they could see him already.

    It looks like it was carved from wood but it’s gotta be rock, right?

    They cheated giving it outstretched wings. I’d like to know what the largest bird statue with folded wings in the world is.

      I’d like to know that too, but I’m not sure how giving it outstretched wings is cheating. It’s something birds do.

        It’s not really important either way. This is still not the world’s largest statue of a sparrow, which is a record most people would care about.

    Is this where the term “spread eagle” comes from?

    Instagrammers for no reason at all: I’ve always wanted to go to India.

    So much giant statues in India… Are they compensating something?

    I’ve been playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 too much, I have the sudden urge to jump onto it and mash the triangle button.
