Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 04 Jan 2006 07:04 PST Hard to be sure, but it looks to me as if there is some writing etched into the sculpture. You can see it near the base, to the right of the man's extended forearm (just below the level of the elbow), and below the left shoulder. It looks to be a date (198?) and an artists name, possibly beginning the "D". If anyone can resolve this image better than I can, they may be able to make use of the information. Good luck.
Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 04 Jan 2006 15:07 PST This sculpture looks similar to the work of Gustav Vigeland. Browse through the image search results for comparable works, particularly the monoliths. The Vigeland museum site provides more information about the works of this sculptor. Your statue seems to be more modern but in a similar style. Maybe this will provide some leads for further searching. http://images.google.com/images?svnum=100&hl=en&lr=&q=vigeland&btnG=Search http://images.google.com/images?q=sculpture+OR+statue++oslo&svnum=100&hl=en&lr=&start=40&sa=N http://www.museumsnett.no/vigelandmuseet/2parken/2b_historikk/engelsk/2bframeset.html http://www.adhikara.com/gustav-vigeland/index.html Good luck. ~ czh ~

Clarification of Question by wheatman-ga on 05 Jan 2006 04:24 PST Iam pretty sure the statue is in the Caribbean.

Clarification of Question by wheatman-ga on 05 Jan 2006 14:19 PST I strongly believe it is in the Caribbean.I think there is scuba diving nearby. I saw other unrelated pictures with bright tropical fish, summer clothes and scuba. I now believe all the pictures are taken at the same place and time although I didnt realize it at first. The statue is at some tourist spot in the carribean where ther is scuba diving. The aquatic theme of t5he statue confirms this Thanks

Be assured thats not the case.How could you "track some one down" 
from knowing the location of a statue (And one thats probably in
Denmark or some other port of call}> Keep looking Thanx.

I am pretty certain that the statue is not one of Vigeland's, although
I also immediately related it in style to his work.  There are
similarities, but his later works in this "compact" style do not have
the polished surface of this statue.  But his work could have been an
inspiration for another Scandinavian scultor, and the background could
also be somewhere an Scandinavia.
But it doesn't have to be.
