Homecoming

While unpacking and digging about in the archives for something to post while I get myself sorted out after moving I came across some photos of this sculpture by Nathan Scott. It's called "Homecoming" and depicts that emotion-packed moment when a member of the armed forces returns to his native shore and family. It is located on Wharf Street overlooking the Inner Harbour. The sculptor, Nathan Scott, lives here and is also responsible for the statue of Terry Fox that stands at Mile Zero of the Trans Canada Highway in Beacon Hill Park.

    I suspect that the "Veteran Sailor" statue added to the site last spring, with the "old salt" on the bench, will draw many more tourist pictures than this one, as it's so much easier to photograph with someone in the picture. (For the record, I have one of my sister on the bench.)

    Both statues are great tribute to our navy personnel.
