Monochrome Monday Statues in Bryant Park

This is a post for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos A challenge I try to join as often as I can, the other challenges he hosts are Sepia Saturday and Tree Tuesday, all fun challenges and worth checking out. For this weeks post I am going with a few Statues I came across in Bryant Park on a recent walk through the park.

This first one is of Gertrude Stein, and in case you're not well versed in Poetry and well know poets, like me this is what I found out about here

Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life

And this last one is not a statue, but it is in Bryant park and worked well in Mono so I am including it with this post, One of the ornat lamp posts in bryant Park, which are such a cool design I think.
