Leather Statues

I'm glad these came out OK since I took them just after midnight on January 1, 2008. I guess that makes these my first photos of the New Year.

I had never seen statues covered entirely in leather before.
They had a tactile quality that made them a pleasure to hold.
Warm and inviting--certainly more natural than bronze.
They were about a foot tall.


Update: The camel came from Iraq and the horse is from Virginia. Thanks, Holly.
