I have a photo with it but I wonder how they managed to get the crowd away. There is no way you can normally take a photo without someone else in it. Actually more than just a few.

” I use a cropped 'Charging Bull' image as my picture on another investing forum. ”
I have a scale model of the charging bull prominently displayed at home in a corner devoted to NYC photos and memorabilia - most from visits to The Big Apple.
The 'Charging Bull' sculpture produced by Arturo Di ModicaI is amazing. There is a reason this is an iconic work of art! I agree that the above photo is striking and very well-composed.
Thanks for the background on the charging bull. I sort of realized it was a classic sculpture, but hadn’t really paid much attention. Deserves the accolades for sure.
My favorite in NYC is the monument to author Lewis Carroll in Central Park. Worth a trip to the city just to see it IMHO (and a lovely framed photo hangs in my home). While more artistically impressive without the kids, I linked this shot because it provides an idea of the monument’s size.
