Here is another interesting statue. 

I saw several of these scattered around Amelia Island, Florida – the self-proclaimed “Shrimp Capital of the World”.  This one is bejewelled.

These shrimp statues have been installed in the Fernandina Beach & Amelia Island areas. It appears to be a program much like the various “Cow Parade” projects around the country. Visit Shrimp Expression for details

   I must have missed that colorful guy.

   We were just at the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival this weekend and I saw a few of these statues along Centre Street.

     Hey Paul, I was just surfing around your site. Love your photographs! I’m currently drooling over some of the cars in your Festival of Speed Exotic Car Show pics
