Cumil
Seen on our walk of Bratislava. We knew this was here and so sought it out, unfortunately I have taken this with a P.o.V that leaves the lid (top) of the sewer inspection hole largely out of sight behind our hero.

“Čumil the Peeper is the brainchild of Viktor Hulík, created in 1997. He represents a smiling Communist worker who is either looking up skirts or reportedly saying to his government employer: "I pretend to work, you pretend to pay me.” Said to be Bratislava’s most famous inhabitant!

Enjoy the day.

What an unusual find Herb...........the statue looks amazing and unlike any I've seen before..........story behind Cumil the Peeper is fascinating.

You've captured him in super detail and in the perfect surroundings. I especially like the signs of wear on his helmet, showing that he is also very tactile..!!

A cracking shot sir!

Yes, unique to me too Keith. The story really does complete the picture here as you too realise. Everyone walking past bend down to touch it for some reason! Maybe good luck??
