Like most cities, Wellington is required by law to have at least five public statues of naked people.  This is to ensure that the people who are employed taking telephone calls from morally outraged individuals, have a continuous stream of callers.  Its kind of a make work project.

So far I have only found three of them.

The one on the left is called Solace in the Wind.  I could make a few jokes about breaking wind, but how juvenile do you think I am?

This statue interests me because every now and then, it disappears from its perch.  I have twice noticed that it had been removed from where it stands and then reappears a few days later.  I assume that either it was being cleaned, or he went out to get a burger or something.

The second statue, I don’t know the name of, but it is quite impressive in that I can see a girls boobs without getting in trouble from my wife, and without paying a cover charge.

The final statue is more surreal than an actual depiction of the naked body.

As you can see there are obvious references to Eve, what with the apple, but I like the fact that they took a Kiwi slant to it, with the fern leaves, rather than the fig leaf.

So all in all, I’m not doing bad on my Naked Statue bingo card.  I’ve only got a couple to go!
