Round Robin Challenge: Landmarks

These are wonderful! I love oversized mock-ups of things, and you've got a great collection of them here, well photographed. Thanks for the smile I got from looking at them all!

Wow, they do things BIG up there. We've never been that far north, but I guess we'll have to make it a summer trip sometime. Why did the cow stop talking? (There has to be a joke in there somewhere). Great pictures and certainly you had alot of fun getting all the shots. I do like the Veterans Park and the brick collection. Excellent.

Very fun pictures, and fun challenge. I am off to take some pictures for Wildflowers in Winter. Maybe I can find some pictures for this Round Robin Challenge...I hope.

I enjoyed so much looking at your pictures! The muskie is a bit scary...what big teeth!

This was so cool! I bet my hubby hasn't see all of these things and he lived there for 18 years.

Thanks for the tour, it's great to see where other people live.

Oh My!

I want to come and photograph all of these wonderful landmarks. I love public art and these are just so whimsical and fun. A talking cow! Fabulous! I would sit there all day and listen to her wisdom. :) Tee Hee. Thank you for the great sights. Ooh I have to ask though... is that Paul Bunyon and the Blue Ox the one from the movie Fargo?

Always, Carly

These pictures are fantastic! What great material for photographing. I've never been up your way but your tour makes me want to add it to our list of places to visit.

Well, I did find some landmark pictures taken earlier so I have a Round Robin Landmarks entry.

I like your "big things' pictures. These are definitely apart of Americana.

These are crazy cool shots, Lisa! I've visited Wisconsin a few times (Knapp and Menomonie), but didn't know there were so many cool monuments.

Oh how fun!!! Lovely tour!!!

I used to write for our local paper back in our old hometown, and I did a series on local historical sites in our area. It was a four-part series and SO much fun to write (I love history). It was even purchased by another newspaper, so I got paid twice for it, which is even more fun, lol.

Thanks for the tour!

Goodness but there are a great many "largests" in Wisconsin! LOL Neat pictures!

Having lived mainly in the west, I wasn't familiar with most of these fascinating Wisconsin landmarks. Thank you for educating me in such an enjoyable way -- with your great pictures!

Those are wonderful. In Alberta, we have the world's largest Ukrainian Easter Egg, we have a giant perogy, a giant kielbasa and there is a town with a giant gopher. There are a number of other giants I can't think of right now as well. Great selection of town monuments.

You have a lot of really interesting landmarks, I enjoyed seeing them.

Love the second shot, the one with the flag.

Nice collection of landmarks....looks like a year's supply! Ü

If this was a contest, you would win for the most pictures. My head is spinning.

Excellent shots for this week's challenge :-)

I love those landmarks. The funny ones...biggest...largest.

beautiful photos...thanks for sharing. I would love to visit some day!!

I have a secret I'm going to tell about myself. I drive all over the place and take pictures of world's largest items. There it's out. I have pictures of the world's largest Easter Egg, the world's largest Mushroom, the world's largest, well, it goes on and on and the collection is not as big as I would like but it's growing. So you just know I loved coming over here today and seeing all your fantastic pictures!

Very nice pictures ! I like the big cow it's a pity she doesn't talk anymore and this hamburger is geant, lol ! I know from Wisconsin Madison where I stayed many times with my aunt and of course Wisconsin Dells.

Couple of thing...

#1 You have a lot of BIG things in your neck of the woods. #2 I love that chunk of the China wall. The colors in those stones are gorgeous. #3 When we traveled back from WA to VA we drove through WI. It was fertilizing time so it was manure riddled. We stopped at some touristy looking shop and bought a cutting board with different kinds of cheeses on it for my Mom since the board has WI and pictures. Unfortunately, I love cheese. And the samples were so small I ate them before I got around to giving it her. She never knew any different. Good stuff.

Oh, my goodness, I didn't know there were so many really good examples of country kitsch still around. I love them. This is going to be my next roadtrip.

Love them :D! Your city sure loves big statues, no? :D

OMG! You have an overwhelming number of giant things in your area! I really need to get a hamburger soon. Thanks for sharing. Ohm the hand of statue with flag, etc. brought tears to my eyes...

What fun! This is such a wonderful collection, so whimsical and unique. And the photography is very well done, too. Awesome!
