Description
here is our well known statue known as the golden boy..The Golden Boy was modelled after the 16th century sculpture of the Roman messenger god of trade, profit and commerce, Mercury[4] by Giovanni da Bologna. The sheaf of wheat in his left arm represents the fruits of labour while the torch in his right hand represents a call to youth to join his eternal pursuit of a more prosperous future. The statue faces in the direction of Manitoba's north, pointing towards the region to symbolize its importance as a provider of important natural resources and economic opportunity. The top of his torch is 77 metres (255 feet) above ground and I stood on the legislature grounds to get this..once I get my new camera. i'll get even better photos of him. the figure itself is 17.2 feet tall
