The Golden Lady and the Little Girl



The lady in gold is a street performer, and she was good at make-believing she is a statue-cum-robot.  When she is still, she is really still.  But when she moves, she moves slowly and haltingly.  This little girl reveled in that, and relatively approach the golden lady, who gave her a warm, robotic hug.  Sometimes children can get scared.  Sometimes, too, the statue-cum-robot startles passerby, and that can be hilarious.  This plaza is just north of the Chicago River, by the Tribune Tower, and it had a smattering of art pieces on display when we spent the afternoon and evening there for the July 4th holiday.
