Grand Central Terminal Statue
From a way off I viewed this statue on top of Grand Central, and
focused on getting a photo.
"The clock in front of the Grand Central facade facing 42nd
Street contains the world's largest example of Tiffany glass and is
surrounded by sculptures carved by the John Donnelly Company of
Minerva, Hercules and Mercury. For the terminal building French
sculptor Jules-Alexis Coutan created what was at the time of its
unveiling (1914) considered to be the largest sculptural group in the
world. It was 48 feet (14.6 m) high, the clock in the center having a
circumference of 13 feet (4 m)." (from Wikipedia)
