SIX PACK ABS

I've passed by this location hundreds of times and never saw this statue before. I don't think it magically appeared one day. I, also, find it hard to believe I overlooked him for so long. Well, Poseidon is here now. Athens can rest comfortably, he is taking the winter in warmer climes and will be returning in the Spring. Seems he was just heading out to get some ouzo. If he would just lose the trident he would look like any other tourist.

    Oh come on, for sure it's something magical!
    The beautiful Poseidon was inside some poll trying to refresh himself but now, it's winter again and he is ready for his job! :)
    Cute sculpture.

    Looks like he hit the gym seriously on his way from Athens to Ford Lauderdale.

    It's funny how many 'big,' sort of obvious things we overlook. This guy is definitely a gym-goer.

    We'll see how tight those abs look after he finishes the Ouzo!

    Very funny! Love you commentary, too. I don't think, however, that he would look like any other tourist if you took away his trident. I've seen tourists on Hollywood beach - and most look like beached whales of the white variety!

    He is ready for his adventure. I hope he isn't going to shake up the earth. MB

    I wonder how heavy he is. I am not thinking he might disappear but he might.

    Yes, I suppose most tourists wear crown in Florida. He has a wonderful bronzed tan.

    Maybe if he had a mailbox attached to him somewhere, he would have been noticed sooner?

    Our friend Jacob gave us the impression that your street are infested by hungry tourist-eating gators. So Poseidon is right to keep the trident at hand...

    If that's what your tourists look like send them my way. Our tourists, two words:
    belly
    gluteals

    Eew eew eew.

    Maybe he fell out of that movie The Lightning Thief.

    Nice capture.

    Your post sent me on a quest to check the differences between Neptune and Poseidon.
