Anonymous Pedestrian

Aren't these amazing statues? These are found near the railway station in Wroclaw(pronounced Vrot-swaf), Poland. A series of 14 stone pedestrians descend into the earth on one side of the street and emerge on the other. These commemorate the introduction of Martial Law in Poland and in particular, the many people who went missing in the middle of the night in December of 1981. The official name of these statues is " Transition" and the sculptor was Jerzy Kalina.
