The statue "Prometheus" stands on the fortified moat south of Kungstorget in Göteborg and is seemingly taking a step into the water.

Finally got round to uploading my pics from the DRS Open Day 2018 at Gresty Bridge TMD... which look pretty much like all the other ones on Flickr from the day!
My latest sighting of DRS Class 88, 88 002 "Prometheus" having been the very first Class 88 I saw on the class's first loaded test run on 3 April 2017. Peeking out from behind 88002 is Class 57/0, 57007.
The Rockefeller Center skating rink is guarded by the famous gilded statue of Prometheus bringing fire to mankind by sculptor Paul Manship
By Paul Manship (1885-1966)
From Lower Plaza, Rockefeller Center
The Rockefeller Center was sponsored by, and named after, John D Rockefeller Jr. (1874-1960). The development consists of 14 Art Deco buildings, designed by Raymond Mathewson Hood (1881-1934) and constructed between 1930-39, plus 4 International-Style buildings built in the 1960-70s.
The only project employed 40,000 people, and cost an estimated $250m at the time (this included the acquiring the land and demolishing some existing buildings).
Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it.[citation needed]
普罗米修斯与智慧女神雅典娜共同创造了人类，并教会了人类很多知识。当时宙斯禁止人类用火，他看到人类生活的困苦，帮人类从奥林匹斯偷取了火，因此触怒宙斯。宙斯将他锁在高加索山的悬崖上，每天派一只鹰去吃他的肝，又让他的肝每天重新长上，使他日日承受被恶鹰啄食肝脏的痛苦。然而普罗米修斯始终坚毅不屈。几千年后，赫剌克勒斯为寻找金苹果来到悬崖边，把恶鹰射死，并让半人半马的肯陶洛斯族的喀戎来代替，解救了普罗米修斯。但他必须永远戴一只铁环，环上镶上一块高加索山上的石子，以便宙斯可以自豪地宣称他的仇敌仍然被锁在高加索山的悬崖上。

The Engineers engineered the idea that we were originally engineered but scrapped by the Engineers even though we are still here, time and ignorance comes back to eat our liver once again ... and again ... and again.
A shot of the status that we know as being "in front of the Christmas Tree". Turns out, he likes to sun himself also.
Across Greenwich dockside to docklands towers.
I have too many shots like this but what can I do? It is where I live.
