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.

:) love it! your sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteLol, a Californian version of the God.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, for sure it's something magical!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
Léia :)
Looks like he hit the gym seriously on his way from Athens to Ford Lauderdale.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how many 'big,' sort of obvious things we overlook. This guy is definitely a gym-goer.
ReplyDeleteHe does look larger than us mortals.
ReplyDeleteThe last sentence is the funniest! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how tight those abs look after he finishes the Ouzo!
ReplyDeleteVery 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!
ReplyDeleteHe is ready for his adventure. I hope he isn't going to shake up the earth. MB
ReplyDeleteI wonder how heavy he is. I am not thinking he might disappear but he might.
ReplyDeleteYes, I suppose most tourists wear crown in Florida. He has a wonderful bronzed tan.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if he had a mailbox attached to him somewhere, he would have been noticed sooner?
ReplyDeleteOur 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...
ReplyDeleteIf that's what your tourists look like send them my way. Our tourists, two words:
ReplyDeletebelly
gluteals
Eew eew eew.
Maybe he fell out of that movie The Lightning Thief.
ReplyDeleteNice capture.
He was off at the gym all the other times you drove by .. how else could he maintain such a physique?
ReplyDeletecome on now, B, how could you have missed him?! do have an ouzo in his honor!
ReplyDeleteWow, he is very buff. Must be all that swimming.
ReplyDeleteCome on, I know you have an "in" with a major studio props department. . . .
ReplyDeleteYour post sent me on a quest to check the differences between Neptune and Poseidon.
ReplyDeleteHe must have been having a good workout.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
