This image and Carol's shot of this incongruity in a wet snow, tell different stories. Carol gives us a sense heightened sense of absurdity, while your image gives us a wonderfully ironic sense of place. I assume the local authorities have long since given up trying to keep the Iron Duke cone-less.
I see they still put the traffic cone hat on him! Do you know the story of that with the students?? I shot this same thing last time I was back there and wrote up a caption explanation. http://www.pbase.com/sveetzel/image/67554832 I like that you included more of the museum in your shot giving it more of a sense of place.
