Ā  Ā  Ā Ā While I was walking around Ā there is this image statutes in New York Ā calledĀ Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, Ā is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling GreenĀ in the Financial DistrictĀ Ā in Manhattan New York City. Originally guerrilla artĀ Ā installed unofficially by Arturo Di ModicaĀ Ā its popularity led to it being a permanent feature. The 7,100-pound 3,200 kg sculpture stands 11 feet 3.4 m tall and measures 16 feet 4.9 m long. The oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperityĀ leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination which draws thousands of people a day, as well as “one of the most iconic images of New York”
