Sweeping up Botero's Ash


Fernando Botero created his wonderfully voluptuous 'Woman Smoking a Cigarette' in 1987. She endlessly smokes her cigarette in the Parc Paysager de Fontvieille.

Do you suppose the man in the smaller photo is sweeping up her ash?

Love that sculpture and his work! We saw other sculptures of his at our hotel in Maui, Hawaii several years ago!

I'm not sure if he is sweeping the ash Jilly but I think this is probably the kind of girl he likes and he probably gives her a lot of TLC. Where do you find all these things. You'll have to make a tourist map with a link to all these great photos so when I visit next time I can look at your map and plan an itinerary and spend a day or two visiting all the beautiful things you've photographed!

She's in the small park, very near to the circus tent in Fontvieille. At the back of the circus tent, you might say, near to a play area for very young children.

Are you suggesting that he's going to get his ashes hauled?

:-O
