#4 - Bobby Orr

Another photo from my trip into Boston this past Sunday. This is the Bobby Orr statue that is outside the TD Garden. I have photographed this statue a number of times without getting anything I liked. I tried a few different compositions Sunday and this is one of the few I was happy with.

 

Below is a photo I took of Bobby Orr speaking during the unveiling ceremony last May.

 

From Wikipedia:

On May 10, 2010, the fortieth anniversary of Orr scoring the game-winning goal against the St. Louis Blues in overtime to clinch the 1970 Stanley Cup, the Bruins commemorated the event with a bronze statue of Orr outside the TD Garden, the Bruins' home rink. The statue depicts Orr sprawled in mid-flight after scoring the goal. The unveiling was attended by many of Orr's past team-mates. Orr spoke at the unveiling: "This specific moment and time we celebrate with this statue is something we can all now nostalgically remember with fondness, together, each time we enter Boston Garden. To all of you, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I'm honoured. Guys, thank you."
