Tourists in Pictures

Tourists can be very funny especially when they are taking pictures around the city. Like trying to get the entire Empire State Building and themselves into a shot. Or taking their picture in front of the Apple Cube on 5th Ave. But no spot is more of a mystery to me than in front of the male statue by Fernando Botero that's in the Time Warner center. I took a picture of this couple taking their picture with the statue, and if you click on it you'll understand why I think it's an odd place to take a picture. And I know people take a picture in front of the guy just because of his shiny penis, because no-one takes a picture in front of the girl.

Although if the statue was smaller and her breasts could fit in the frame of a shot I bet they would. People can be so weird. If these statues were in a museum it would be no big deal. Put them in the public square and everyone wants a picture with a brass penis! Here's how they look from the ground.

OK- Just re-read your post. You already said the name of the statue. Sorry.
