When I titled this I was thinking to charge off on some metaphorical, mythological, philosophical rambling about how some God gave mankind fire, and do some analogizing about the relationship between human observations of the universe and how they've contributed to our slow intellectual development (or lack thereof) but I'm way too tired to do that now ...

Rockefeller Center represents a turning point in the history of architectural sculpture: it is among the last major building projects in the United States to incorporate a program of integrated public art. Sculptor Lee Lawrie contributed the largest number of individual pieces — twelve — including the statue of Atlas facing Fifth Avenue and the conspicuous friezes above the main entrance to the RCA Building.
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

This is the well-known statue of Prometheus at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. It's the one you always see them ice-skating in front of during the winter. In real life, the area is pretty small which was surprising. The ice rink always looks huge on TV but it's not that big. Funny how things are different when you actually go there. Anyways, it is a nice area and there is a little restaurant down there - you can just see the tops of the table umbrellas. It was a nice evening, and I was walking around the city taking shots, which is always fun. The thing about NYC is that there are so dang many spots to take photos that you just can't get them all done in one trip.
