What do you think of him? The silver miner.
I like that too. The lines all over it are like it's been drawn.. must look good in the sun with all the reflections. It reminds me of those powerful soviet statues of the Workers doing noble things. It's nice to see the common man being celebrated (and all the terrible conditions / treatment miners have had to put up with recognised) - instead of all those old style statues of toffs on horses hehe.
