Ciao! Love the kid posing, he looks relaxed and happy as opposed to the sever Adams stance
Have a great weekend

Funny, the contrast between serious Adams and the happy boy!
It seems to me that nowadays, we don't put statues for great men anymore.. Maybe we have no politic men that deserve enough to be honoured?..
I really like the way you've composed this with the echo of the steeple in the background. Two very strong verticals.
I've not seen this one... love the arms folded. It's him!
Ah yes, good old Samuel Adams at Fanuiel Hall! I need to visit Boston soon, I think. I haven't been back in years.
He also makes one heck of a beer.
nice composition. i like the solemness of the statue with the kid having a great time.
Very stately. I wonder if that boy will follow in the same kind of footsteps...
How interesting. You don't often see statues with their arms crossed like that. Hmm. I wonder why.
love the composition!
Always a little bit of History when visiting your blog and it is Welcome!!
I didn't know John Adams had such an important cousin. Fascinating and a lovely photo.
Nice composition with Fanueil Hall and what looks to me to be the tower of the Customs House in the background.
I remember this from our trip there last summer; I really like your last post, the reflection.
We both posted founding fathers. I really like the pose of Samuel Adams (and of the kid below).
Ohhh, take me to the sunshine :-)
Hug from Norway
Old and young, serious and smiling - nice shot!
I've always liked Sam Adams...ever since I found out he made beer. I drink the "light" stuff, though.
Cool photo with that spire and blue sky...and the kid gives the proper sense of scale.
Now that is a nice statue and I like the way you included the boy in front of him too!
Too bad the savants currently stalking the halls of Congress and the corridors of the White House are hell-bent on shredding everything Adams and the other founding fathers built.
Rant ended, «Louis» is now adding a link to your blog in his right side bar...
Somehow, I feel like he'd want to scold the kid, if he could. ;)
Sam's crossed arms give him a very smug and satisfied look.
Happy May Day!
