Many thanks, Anne, for your kind comment. I have long admired and photographed Roden's, The Thinker, in Detroit and so was delighted to have the opportunity to see this cast of the sculpture in Philadelphia. Glad you like it, too.

I have a 12" brass version of this famous work. It always receives many comments from visitors to my home. Thanks for sharing the statue as seen in person. Beautiful work! (^_^)

Ann: I photographed this same statue in Philadelphia and also in Paris. My caption was "where did they put the toilet paper?"

Debbie and Kristin, thanks for your kind comments about this color version. By the way, I also have several shots of The Thinker at the Detroit Institute of Arts here on FAA.

Gary, all I can tell you is that I was, and am, of two minds about which I prefer and so posted both. Whether that was my occasional lack of enthusiasm for what is before me confronting my usual cockeyed optimism, I don't know. Anyway, the two versions will stay... thanks for making me think.
