It's called "Bedrock Bike" so that's the correct answer. It's on a cycle route between Glasgow and Edinburgh and also has other sculptures such as this one:

Steve - what a bike! Probably from Stone Age I've never been in Scotland... it's time to change it!
Orio: if U want to see more photos - no problem.
My previous photo in B&W:
Other shot:
Both photos taken in not the best light, November in Poland is rather cloudy
By the way - my cousin collects old cameras... In his collection I found two cameras with Trioplan 50/2.9. These lenses are in very good condition, unfortunately they haveExa/Exakta mount (no M42 screw). So I can't use it. _________________ Regards,

OK, here's some outside test pics, plus one that Orio suggested I do
with one previously posted:
First 3 were shot at f4-5 somewhere and the last at f8.

Bill: SUPER IMAGES!
I really could not imagine that the Trioplan could be so sharp and contrasted!!
As for the idol, I had something different in mind  _________________ _

Orio, it had a little help (but not much) in CS3 when it comes to contrast. What did you have in mind for the idol?
EDIT: here's another version (above).
The wind was really kicking up and these were the best out of 20 pics
taken on a break from work.
Also, the blue you see on some of the waxy leaves in the first pic are
reflections from the blue sky.
Thanks for your comments.

This lens is fast becoming one of my "must have" lenses. I need to quit LOOKING at these results! _________________

I know what you mean - it's got such a strong character. If it wasn't for lack of infinity on a Nikon I'd have been bidding like crazy.
Great shots that really show the lens off. |

Thanks for your comments, fellas!
@Richard, I cried like a baby when I sold my last Nikon, but I wouldn't
have a digital back that would cheat me out of the joy of using these
old lenses! It simply doesn't get better than this! The glass is everything,
digital backs come and go, but the lenses remain.

Icouldn't part with my D200 or FE and love using my growing collection of Nikkors. Maybe I'll have to seriously consider a second body just for M42 use at somepoint... |

Richard, consider the Oly e300 or Canon 300D, they go for quite
reasonable on ebay. I paid $215 (shipping included) for my e300 and
it came with original box, all paperwork/software, 3 good batteries and
a charger. This an 8MP cam that went for less than most 6MP point
and shoots on ebay!

Here's two from today which was overcast, acting like it would rain
any minute, but didn't:
The poor chrysanthemum bloom, it's been very dry, could've used the
rain. I was surprised to see anything blooming with temps getting near
or below freezing at night.

Bokeh = stunning
Sharpness = excellent (at least on the web)
Something that REALLY stands out is the treatment that the lens gives to chromium metal parts. What a GLOW. _________________

Here's one I found in my RAW file section that I missed (need to
organizize my files better). This one really shows the odd bokeh this
lens has at wide open, or very close to wide open:
The circles on the left are larger than the earlier pic of cyprus bough,
like they were made with Tinkerbell's magic wand...
Looks Christmas-y, though.
