Today's Theme Day: 'Statues'...

Here is a statue proposed by G@tto as an outsider...
[PPG doesn't belong to the CityDailyPhoto community].

Question : who is this guy who pointedly ignores the triumphant attitude
of the 'Genius of the Bastille'?



Who knows the Answer ?

May Day... in Paris

Workers of the world, awaken !
Rise in all your splendid might
Take the wealth that you are making,
It belongs to you by right.
No one will for bread be crying
We'll have freedom, love and health,
When the grand red flag is flying
In the Workers' Commonwealth.

(Joe Hill)
