3 at last

This is just a quickie and a taste of Antwerp. It really is a fantastic place, if a little strange. This is a statue dedicated to the harbour workers who gave so much to build the City economy over the years. Either that or the dodgy folk who worked the docks showing sailors a good time. I think his pose is a little suspect.


The inscription "Arbeid Vrijheid" means Labour = Freedom or, depending on your point of view, "Get it Here Big Boy"

That has to be the gayest statue I have seen.

Creature from the Black Lagoon comes to mind.

LOL ! Indeed the gayest. There simply must have been some hidden message there, it could not have gone unnoticed at the modelling stage even lol!

About 4 years ago I saw a poster in Mechelen advertising the "Mr Gay Benelux" contest !!!
Maybe this was the original winner !
