My golden guy


 Do you have a favorite spot? I have a few and probably my favorite is the setting for this marvelous golden guy - the statue of Prometheus hovering over the Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The gilded bronze statue, the work of Paul Manship, was commissioned by John D. Rockefeller in 1933. Prometheus holds fire in his right hand, which he stole from Zeus to give to mankind. The statue is most beautiful when it is towered over by the annual Christmas tree.
