Bronzes Around Ulaanbaatar

To start with, a very “real” looking wild sheep. These particular sheep are the largest on the planet. They grows to 100 +kg and live in the nothern parts of Mongolia. This striking bronze was erected in UB at the end of September 2006 to highlight the plight of this rare animal.

And now for something completely different. A man in a cube…..not sure if he is trying to escape or he is trying to stop his universe imploding. Shades of Samson and the temple. Blue scarves are found everywhere and represent respect.

Three crazy horses just arrived from the “country side”. This trio are enjoying a small park just off Chinggis Avenue, south of Sukhbaatar Square.
I like this couple. They are sitting opposite the northwest corner of the parliament building, clearly attracted to one another, having a chat . In fact, they keep the sheep company.




Four lovely bronzes arranged in two rectangular raised beds in the pedestrian area of Tourist Street. My personal favourite is the wrestling boys.
