This is the last photo I’ll post of the “Arts of War” and “Arts of Peace” statues. I don’t mean to overdo it, but they were pretty unbelievable in their newly regilded state, visible from quite a distance due not only to the gold but also the brilliant autumn sun. I do think they looked fine when they were plain old bronze and that the $5.1 million expended to coat them in gold could have been far better spent.
NOTE: I’m still having problems commenting on pictures, with some “Error 500” message making it impossible at times. I’ve complained to Pbase twice, but they haven’t fixed the problem. Maybe they can’t, or maybe they just don’t care.
