Most magnificent showman in history

Most magnificent showman in history
THIS IS NOT my photo. It is a shareable vintage photo from TIME.com with this caption:
"A giant snowman measuring 17 ft., made by two girls in Aberdeen, Scotland, Jan. 3, 1963." I have added my own coloring and texture. I wanted something hilariously weird for my winter homepage photo and surely this is it.

That must be the year there was a snowstorm on Easter, here. So much for my yellow dotted swiss dress and patent leather shoes.

Well, certainly tall and leaning ...

It sort of out-sizes the SnowBear I made ... but mine was really cool.
If I can find the film shot, will scan and post ! Yes, it was in film days !

Oh....looks like the leaning tower of pisa! ;)
Those girls took the snow of the whole town..that´s funny..and you did a great job Diane ;)

Diane Putnam club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
I thought about that, too. Maybe their dad was the local snow-plow operator, because there surely isn't enough snow in that yard!

Perhaps Aberdeen was settled by people from Easter Island.

Diane Putnam club has replied to John FitzGerald club
HAHA! Excellent theory, John! And, there's still the age-old question: how did those little girls tip it upright? (Well, kind of upright.)

Very risky business! ;-)
After this model the Leaning Tower of Pisa was constructed ;-)

Every great work of architecture needs a prototype, right?

Lol! Thanks, poly!

Incredible! I wonder how they were able to accomplish this feat!

Diane Putnam club has replied to BillsPics
I was wondering the same. I have a feeling there is a tall tree stump under there, which would explain the wacky angle. Or, Dad was on the sauce again!
