Blue Mustang in the Denver airport.
Blue Mustang installed at the airport in Denver (Colorado) truly awful. Locals call the statue “Blue Stallion of Death”, “Horse of Satan” and “Blyutsifer.” As planned by the architect, the statue was supposed to portray became rearing horse.But many who have seen the monument to Golyan red eyes, sure that this horse Satan. I do not bring good luck to the statue and its creator – Luis Jimenez worked at almost 10 meters high, when a fragment of 4,100-pound statue fell on him, killing an artery in the leg.
Quetzalcoatl – the ancient Aztec god who is portrayed as a feathered serpent, or the fiery dragon. He heads the pantheon Aztec gods for many reasons, and it seems all the majestic creature.

As appropriate under the given conditions the image chosen Quetzalcoatl. Sculptor allocated for the construction of the statue of a staggering $ 500 000. The original plans included the construction of Graham huge bronze statue, but in the process of change of plans. The city council agreed on the art with a new design, but kept secret by Graham plans. after the discovery of the statue gorodane divided into two camps – some were offended, others treated the “attractions” with humor and began to take pictures of their dogs on it. And all because the statue is strikingly similar to a bunch of crap.

Near the post office Legazpi City in the Philippines is a very scary attraction Monument headless figures kneeling. It seems that the blade descended on the neck just a few minutes ago. In connection with this statue a lot of rumors. One of the few official version of the story is that the statue is a monument to the local hero – bikolantsam who died during the Second World War.

Cloak of Conscience – terrible, but at the same time strangely beautiful sculpture. Already there are several different versions of this statue, which constantly appear during the work of the artist Anna Chromie across Europe. The cloaked figure with downcast eyes and drooping shoulders first appeared in the picture, which Anna drew in 1980. On the canvas he was depicted in the form of an empty coat of the human body. After that the artist has decided to switch to the sculpture. Marble for her works comes from the same quarry where marble supplied material for the great Michelangelo.
If you drive on the road near the town of Palmyra (USA, Tennessee), you can see the terrible architectural composition.They have not always been so frightening.

For two decades, the tobacco farmer lovingly carved sculpture Tekumseha, Andrew Jackson, standing next to the bull and Daniel Boone, and Sitting Bull. But after the death of Wickham in 1970, vandals smashed most of the statues. Now you can see unless remains of former magnificence of the garden sculptures.
Ancient Egyptian statue of Neb-Sana, which can be seen in a glass case at Manchester Museum in England, looks just like a typical Egyptian statuette. It is fairly small, its height is only about 25 centimeters, and the statuette was unremarkable until it began to occur strangeness. Figurine began to move by itself inside a glass display case. First of it, no one knew, but once curator noticed that during the day (when no one opens the window of) the statuette turned to museum visitors from different angles. There was a security camera is installed, and as a result the video frame by frame viewing, it turned out that the statue Neb Sana does move during the day, turning around its axis.
St. Wenceslas on a horse upside down.
This monument was created by the same artist who created the giant, faceless crawling babies in Prague. St. Wenceslas – the patron of the Czech Republic – on the monument of David Black is depicted sitting on a dead horse, upside-down.First, people do not understand such striking differences between the new statue of Wenceslas (another monument in his honor, it is quite normal, is located on Wenceslas Square in Prague) and declared work Cerny blasphemy. But in the end the new attractions and even see it as a revolutionary art form.
Wang Saen Suk Buddhist hell.
One of the dogmas of Buddhism – reincarnation. Get a new chance to live my life differently – very attractive idea. Much less appealing is the fact that until a new body is a waiting period. When a person dies, his actions, according to Buddhists, evaluated and weighed.
If the bad outweighs the good, his soul sent to hell to pay for their crimes before getting into another body. Those who want to know what it looks like a Buddhist hell, is to visit the park Wang Saen Suk.
At the entrance to the park visitors welcome two statues of men and women who are called “ban.” Horrible to look at a couple of the martyrs is doomed to eternal wandering with a constant feeling of hunger and thirst. Behind them the whole area lined with statues of sinners that leave little room for imagination. Some depict people sawn in half, others are fragmented bones. There are sinners who are doomed to wander, bleeding from wounds, and there are those whose entrails feed the birds.
Also in hell has a special place is reserved for a certain type of sinners who were physically assaulted their parents or monk. For them there is a special hole in hell, and they will not revive until the birth of a new Buddha. Human creativity involved since its inception in the world.
