Located in Pioneer Plaza in Dallas, Texas is the largest bronze sculpture of this nature in the world. It is entitled, "Cattle Drive", and consists of three cowboys and 50 steers. It was created by artist Robert Summers. The sculpture is located on the original path of the Shawnee Trail, a trail that was used in the 1850's.
This is just a small part of the sculpture, where some of the steer are crossing a small creek. I caught their reflection in the water, and I love the juxtaposition of the old and new with the cattle surround by the skyscrapers.
This is a very short clip (1.45 minutes) that shows the whole sculpture.

When I first scrolled down I saw the photo before I started reading, I thought those were real cattle. It is a very life like sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful reflection.
Fantastic sculpture, and I like how you were able to capture the reflection of it, too. Must see on our next trip to Dallas!
