Christopher Columbus statue, Barcelona, August 2018
The Monument a Colom stands at the bottom of the Rambla, with the 40 metre Corinthian column granting Columbus an excellent view out to sea. The bronze explorer clutches a scroll in one hand, whilst pointing out across the ocean with the other, all set for some new discoveries.

I’m not sure, but the team sponsors, Qatar, were involved, so with plenty of help I think

It was fun to see. I’m not sure he’d ever been dressed before, or since
