The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

The seat surrenders. It realises it isn't all that comfortable, though it certainly can't be called an ironing board.

Went to Dunraven Bay this evening where I met up with opobs, Leighton & Angela. Having just seen the stunning image posted by opobs, I may just have to hang up my camera and call it a day. This is just a bit of oversaturated nonsense compared to his masterpiece.
"Unconditional Surrender", a 25-foot statue created by renowned artist J. Seward Johnson, was temporarily taken down from its location along the bayfront in Sarasota, FL so that it can undergo maintenance in New Jersey. It will make the 1,100 mile trip on the back of this truck. Check out my daily photo blog: www.srqjet.blogspot.com
Anna Calvi at The Harley, Sheffield on 24th February 2011. And here, caught on video that night, playing that old Elvis toe tapper:
I caved in.
Told myself i wouldn't take a picture of any kind of Cherry Blossom during the Spring weather. But it was just too pretty. However, satisfied of the result.

Appomattox Court House / Formal Surrender Ceremony / Union Line at Court House / Confederate Force Approaches # 3
Captured with Dad during the Battle of the Bulge 21 Dec 1944. They were being sent to the "rear" (during that confused time no one knew where the rear was) since they were wounded by artillery bombardment. Since it was foggy, their jeep ran into a German tank and just before it fired on them they jumped out. While dodging machine gum fire ran into a Belgian barn and while in the hayloft dismantled their guns. The tank came up to the the barn and raised the cannon and pointed it aloft and Mutt and Dad knew it was time to surrender.
.... no use protesting!

Brampton, Cumbria
#brampton #bramptoncumbria
Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.
St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.
The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.
Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.
In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.
Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.
