The Travels of "Large Ass" Herzog (photo log)

Vulcan Park
Birmingham, Alabama

Atop Red Mountain stands a pre-war statue of the pagan god Vulcan. Built in 1938, the Vulcan statue once held aloft a light shining green when there were no traffic deaths, and red if there were. I believe this morbid practice went by the wayside after the recent restoration.



For $6 one can climb to the top of the pedestal or take an elevator. I did not pay the $6, and did neither, so here is a view of Birmingham from a somewhat lower elevation.



Given a certain brotherhood betwixt LAH and this fellow who necessarily also could be said to have a large ass, I thought a photo from the backside would be appropriate.



Unplanned, I happened to be driving by the Alabama Boy Scouts Headquarters in Liberty Park where there happens to be a Statue of Liberty replica. I could not pass up the chance for another backside shot.
