Statues - photograph a statue of some sort. It can be as large as the Sphinx in Egypt, or as small as a bowling trophy.
When I win the lottery and take my trip around the world, I'll stop off in Egypt and get some photos of the Sphinx. Until then, some photos taken a little closer to home will have to suffice.
The Gordon-Lee Mansion is in the town of Chickamauga, Georgia, south of the Civil War battlefield. Union General William Rosecrans briefly used the house as his headquarters before the Battle of Chickamauga. The statue below is from the mansion grounds.
Another Civil War statue. These figures are on the top of the New York Peace Monument at Point Park atop Lookout Mountain. It's the only Civil War monument I know of that has a statue of both a Union and Confederate soldier. They're shaking hands; a Northern gesture of conciliation.
Three statues are around the Georgia Monument at the Chickamauga battlefield, one for each branch of service -- infantry, artillery and cavalry. Here's the infantry statue in front of the state seal.
And here's some public art on Market Street in downtown Chattanooga. I guess these would qualify as statues. They're two of the three figures that make up "Pathos Sweet Lost and Found" by J. Aaron Alderman.
