I spied this scene on the way east out of San Antonio. I took quite a few photos and this guy never got tired. His arm never wavered. He sat there perfectly still the entire time, and for all I know, he is still sitting there, flag in hand, a frozen moment in time.

@danthro: I actually took a number of shots over the fence but I liked the ambiguity the fence adds by obscuring some of the background, and also the context it provides --making it clear that this display was not just in some open and accessible place. I don't know if statue is exactly the right word, but I'd say it's some kind of mannequin.
This is a very interesting shot. Make you want to keep looking at it. Maybe to see if he moves.

@Gary: Well, he moves in the sense that the boat moves and he's in it.
Is he a real person or a monument of some sort?

@Amir: It's what I'd describe as a mannequin of some kind, dressed in fisherman's garb, in a boat floating in a man-made pond.
... so, I'm intrigued like those above. Is it a statue? If so do you know more about it? If its a real man... I'm a bit scared.

@Daroru: I don't know anything more about it than what I saw when I took the picture. It's a mannequin of some kind, clothed in fisherman's garb, holding a flag, and sitting in a boat floating in a man-made pond.
