Virginia Beach's newest attraction is King Neptune, a colossal 34-foot-high bronze statue located right off the Board Walk. I watched them weilding this "guy" into place. If anyone knows about salt I figured it would be Neptune!btw.....97% of the world supply of water is salt water, 2% is ice, 1 % is drinkable water.

Oh, I love that top photo. It's very dramatic with that sky in the background. Great angle.
Terrific photo! I would have enjoyed seeing how they install something that large!
Great photo Daisy - You never know when pictures of Neptune will come in handy for a photo hunt.
great photos and clever interpretation of the theme - very nicely done!
I don't want to meet him in the middle of the night ! I am sure I would faint, lol !
That's an awesome statue! How neat for them to put that up.
I'm up too.
That statue is something!!
He really is something... a little further down than the Forbes candy company where Nyssa worked and we park... It must be near that fabulous old hotel up on the "hill" if you can call it that.
Love the photo of King Neptune and those statistics are just amazing! You would wonder why we haven't run out of drinkable water long ago! lol
Now there is a king salty idea. He is huge. Great idea for the salty theme. Have a great weekend.
