Statuesque Hats

His might fit him better, though. Cool photo, Javier.

The old lad can pull it off. Although I must admit my guy looks good Top hat, walking stick and a nice suit with tail.... now that is style.

The father of my city, Mr. Nathaniel Rochester.

Pensive fellow, indeed. Probably wondering where he can find a more casual hat in a size 8 1/2.

La Dame de Notre Renaissance Française here in Nashua is dedicated to French Canadian immigrants who worked in the local textile mills.

That's a marvel of a bronze. Beautiful job on the dress! What's that implement on her left hip, do you suppose?

Good match-up with the color of that Campdraft!

Thanks Randall. The statue is the centerpiece of a nice little park that celebrates the French Canadian influence on the local culture.

The thingy in her pocket is a spindle used in the looms in the mill. The statue was created by Maine artist Christopher Gowell.

I really like the old industrial area around the river and canal - great location for engagement photos for our wedding clients.

In that light, the hat almost looks like part of the sculpture. Very cool ...

Cheers, Eric.
I didn't plan it that way, but I like the result.

Well, she was obviously distraught, whether from trying to figure out the bus schedule or because of the bird poop ---- hard to say. My Borsalino did little to comfort her.

 

[bowlerman]

She was just being coy.

I always enjoy the pairing of Beethoven with western hats, plus here's an excuse to post my grey one again.

Great old piano, Jeff. You play that as well as the oboe?
