Look! An extraordinary BIRD! On Google Maps in Barcelona, Spain!
I found Impressive sculpture "“Dona i Ocell” (“Woman and Bird”)"!!
I like to look for great places on Google maps and Google Earth!
THIS 72-FOOT (22-METER) STATUE IS ERECTED in a park named after its creator, Joan Miró. Collaborating with Joan Gardy Artigas, Miró adorned the statue with colorful tiles. It's one of three commissioned pieces by the city of Barcelona to greet visitors.
Entitled "Dona i Ocell" ("Woman and Bird"), the statue aligns with Miró's penchant for incorporating women and birds into his art. However, its name carries an additional connotation; "ocell" is also slang for penis, accentuated by the statue's somewhat phallic shape. Moreover, there's a yonic gap running down its side, outlined with dark tiles.
Joan Miró Park sprawls across four city blocks, partitioned into distinct spaces. One section features a variety of trees, including eucalyptus, pine, and palm trees. Another area is paved and houses an artificial lake, with the sculpture towering in one corner. Additionally, the park is dubbed Parc de l’Escorxador, translating to Slaughterhouse Park, owing to its former occupation by a slaughterhouse. The park debuted months before Miró's passing, although his illness prevented him from attending the sculpture's dedication.
