Some of them are pretty incredible. “In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”

After haha commented on this post I tried to find on Google the source for the pictures. You can find more strange statues on http://saoma.com/central/, a very interesting website.  I'm sorry for not trying to find it sooner. I didn't "rip" them, I had them on the computer and just added them. As it is written in the about page, giving credit is a pleasure, and if it is asked it becomes more than that – an obligation. The pictures are not mine, I have never said they would be.

43. stefano, on December 6th, 2007 at 5:17 pm Said:

    They all are beautiful, I just love the first one of the falling policeman in Brussels, Belgium.

44. Crash, on December 11th, 2007 at 10:25 am Said:

    The Brussels statue with the tripped policeman is extremely close to the Canal de Willebroek that runs through the city, west of the heart of the city. From the Metropole Hotel, it’s west-north-west. The statue is seen if you cross over the bridge heading towards Elizabeth Park on Leopold II boulevard. It’s on the sidewalk on the south west corner of the intersection of Leopold II and Koolmijnenkaai. Across the street on the north side is either a chocolate factory or a citroen plant, can’t remember.

45. Ross, on December 26th, 2007 at 12:20 pm Said:

    The Block head in Nice, France is actually an office building, its not a statue.

    About the twisted revolver:
    The famous statue “Non Violence” is at several locations around the world. To exexmpel outside the UN headquarters in New York, and in Stockholm . The gun was designed in the late 1980s by swedish Carl Fredrik Reutersvärd and in 1995 became the symbol of the anti-violence movement, “Non-violence”.

    Reuterswärd noted that it was the sorrow after the murder of his good friend John Lennon that got him to design this famous work.
