The Tin Man Has Found His Heart
I often travel with my camera, and on a winter day in Goshen, Massachusetts, I was not disappointed when I came upon a local hardware 
store. It was here that I found the Tin Man and he was kind enough to stand in front of the store one day and pose for a photograph:
There isn’t much going on in Goshen and I guess residents have all kinds of time to come up with unique metallic art statues. This particular property is also covered with broken bicycles all fused together and a plethora of other metal art statues.
I love this tin man. He stands close to thirty feet tall and his heart lights up during the day. Why they built him? Who knows, but I often think, “Why Not?”. If you want to leave a legacy, why not a 30 foot tall tin man statue at the front of your store?
This is cool, definitely! Do you know if they have any ties to L Frank Baum, or any of the actors who have played the Tin Man in any Oz movies?
Awesome picture! I love when people make art out of metal and recycled items.
