The Weight of the World

Description: The Atlas sculpture by Lee Lawrie across from St. Patrick's in front of 5th Avenue, installed in 1937 in Rockefeller Center, New York, NY

Why I like this photo: Obviously this is one of the most famous works of art in Rockefeller Center, one that is recognizeable and sought out by tourists like myself. I probably could have been more artistic with the angles, however I was on my knees to take this pic and already looked enough like a tourist. I just love how this seems so empowering and inspirational. Truly an impressive monument.
