Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded Prometheus statue, commissioned in 1934 stands 18 feet (5.5 m) high and weighs 8 short tons (7.1 long tons). The statue depicts the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind. The statue is flanked by two smaller gilded representations of Youth and Maiden, which were relocated to Palazzo d'Italia from 1939 to 1984 because Manship thought the representations did not fit visually. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription, a paraphrase 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."
The statue that occupies the center piece of the Rockafeller plaza is of the Greek Titan Prometheus. A fitting statue for the industilist who the center is named. Prometheus is credited with stealing fire from the gods and gifting it to man kind. Thus allowing mankind to develop further technology and "advance".
The effects of the moon Prometheus create intricate formations in Saturn's
thin F ring.
The gravity of potato-shaped Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles
across) periodically creates streamer-channels in the F ring. See PIA10461 and
PIA10593 to learn more. To watch a movie of this process, see PIA08397.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 9
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2009. The view was
acquired at a distance of approximately 922,000 kilometers (573,000 miles)
from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 27 degrees.
Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

This is an 18th ft. high, gilded cast bronze sculpture by Paul Manship (1885-1966). Behind in the red granite wall is a quote that says: "Prometheus, Teacher in Every Art, Brought the Fire That Hath Prove to Mortals a Means to Mighty Ends" by Aeschilus (a 6th B.C. Greek dramatist). Located above the lower plaza of the Rockefeller Center, NYC.
In the background is the GE building. Above the entrance is an sculpture by Lee Lewis (1877-1963) named 'Wisdom' (1933) and a quote that says: "Wisdom and Knowledge Shall Be the Stability of Thy Times". This Art-Deco sculpture is a combination of Indiana limestone, cast glass, polychrome painting and gilding on a low-relief panel for a total high of 37 ft.
What is going on in there? Doesn't appear to be anything in there with him, not a face hugger anyway

We went to Slate Run Metro Park, the zoo, and Highbanks Metro Park today, and I took over 300 pictures -- green herons, sandhill cranes, wood ducks, manatees, flamingoes, bonobos, eagles, etc. -- and yet this cast sculpture of Woody Hayes, standing in the bed of a truck in the parking lot at the zoo, strapped down tight and praying we won't make another bonehead play, was by far the weirdest thing we saw.
I'll get some of the animal shots posted tomorrow.
