Default Face full of snow

This is a statue to remember some of the work force of our local coal pit.

Coalface

It is vandalism proof....Think they forgot to tell the snow...lol

What a cool pic. Love the way the snow adds the highlights to the face. I wouldn't call it vandalism, though. More like Mother Nature adding her artistic touch.

Thank you Ressalg .. I know its not vandalism but when the statue was unveil it was said to be Vandalism proof as nothing is said to stick to it. Its coated in a specail finish to stop paint and that sticking to it.
