one time my friend and i had to pull off the highway near that bronco, we ended up in a parking lot that was specifically for people waiting to pick up people from their flights. i saw two fender benders in five minutes walking back from the porta potty in the parking lot... also we were passed on the shoulder by someone going 90+ mph on the highway right before
people in colorado are really bad at driving is what i'm saying

may or may not be related to the distended bronco looming over all
― global tetrahedron, Sunday, 14 February 2016 21:54 (ten years ago)
completely related, imo.

That stormy pic of the bronco makes it look like it's situated on a council estate playing field in Doncaster.

Not terrifying, not gigantic, but I thought it strange (and fascinating, and about time) that a statue of Eric Dolphy adorns the campus of Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY:http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/34208693.jpg

i think there's something so fundamentally insane about the eastern front in particular Stalingrad, this army driven east beyond their limits by a tyrant and a large collection of psychopaths, coming up against a deadly winter and an army finally ready and able to destroy them, driven by another tyrant, and by circumstance the battle takes place in a city named after him. this statue comes as close as possible to capturing that insanity, i mean might as well have had a 300 ft tall banshee with a sword leading the charge against the Nazis, it would be only a bit more mad than the reality.

Installed as a prank, but the people liked it enough that the the city re-mounted it and made it official.

I'm not sure Melbourne has any giant statues I can think of. Hm apart from this one I guess:

And I'd hardly call that terrifying.

Not especially huge but it was odd going past Dashi Namdakov's feline statue at Marble Arch last year because it kinda looked like the statue of the demon Pazuzu from the Exorcist.
