I see a lot of pick-up trucks now days with a prentice or other style crane on them. First thought was cattle renderer, but now I wonder if they are midnight scrappers in disguise....I'm guessing at 3 tons, they probably paid in excess of $250,000.00 to commission it.
also at 3 ton it's not likely to grow legs and disappear

My neighborhood gas station has one of those made from 55 gallon drums. They are certainly eye-catching signage.

That would make a kid an awesome airplane ride for the jungle gym.
Do people climb on this sculpture? Could that also play into coloring of bronze. ChuckIt was a beautiful day and took these on the Hudson Pier 46 by sculptor Stephan Weiss called “The Apple” (2004) out of bronze. Look at the myriads of color and patina that bronze go through over the season. The color shifts happens due to the exposure. The inside of it is still the pure color of the bronze. The natural shutter hole of this apple gave me an opportunity to shoot the background of New Jersey skyline (Newport Center-Hoboken; Hoboken Terminal Clock):

Lil Mikey feels wholly inadequate. All he gots is a practice bomb about 4' long.
Yes. It is a photo op piece and I have seen kids and young adults go in the opening partially to get photo’s taken. That could play partially in the patina changes. The sculpture is parallel with the Hudson River- so moisture and oxygen plays a big role, plus other environmental factors such as the sun setting at this end that gets ample rays will help with the variegated patina. I love the color change in bronze when it is outside- the sculptures in the museum you will see that they keep their original color because they are in climate controlled environment/condition.Do people climb on this sculpture?
