Fernando Botero’s Adam and Eve’s statues are located at the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. As you can imagine, Adam gets of attention and according to many report, people feel compelled to touch him for good luck. You can’t tell from the photo but they stand 20 feet tall so they are rather imposing when you see them.

Thanks for hosting Wordless Wednesday today! Glad you pointed out how tall they were. I wouldn’t have realized they were more then 5 or 6 feet tall.
