Today we went to Dublin for the day with our son. He had a meeting to attend and we filled in the time with some sight-seeing and an enjoyable lunch. We found the day really cold but at least it didn’t rain on us. We were all rugged up too so all was good.
The photo shows a statue which was in a side street. There didn’t seem to be any information about it. I guess it’s just two friends having a chat before continuing their shopping.
The drink bottle and cup are not part of the display! lol

That is an interesting display, I am sure many take photos with them, I found an interesting sculpture like this many years ago in Portland Oregon. It was a guy sitting on a bench, relaxing and I just had to take a photo.

I wonder how many people try to sit with them.

@JudyEv Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I can see a hand holding a cell phone growing out of the left woman's shoulder. She's probably responsible for the drinks.

As so often happens, your post intrigued me and I had to look it up. Apparently it's called 'Meeting place' and it's part of a project called 'talking statues' you can get a call from them and hear 'their' voices!

That's a very interesting statue of two people talking.

The statue of the two person chatting with each other is a very unusual statue.

From your photos, it appears that a lot of streets in Ireland have statute. Is that true?

They look like they are in deep thought.

They do, don't they? And they look like very 'ordinary' housewives.

Interesting sculpture. There's room for someone to sit down next to them.
