Nathan Hale's statue has stood in a prominent location on the front lawn of the Wadsworth Atheneum for more than a century. During the museum's current renovations, Mr. Hale stands forlorn behind a high wall, amidst construction debris, visible only to tall photographers who know that he is sulking over there.

Very interesting story, an important homage for this man!

For sure. But in time he'll regain his rightful place. "I regret that I have been put in such a predicament."
How nice you discovered this brave man's statue for us, I hope he'll get soon back a more dignified spot. I agree about the tall photographers, sometimes a couple of inches can do the difference!
Poor Mr. Hale! The indignity of it all.
Good job. Old Nathan has been neglected way too long!
Nicely captured!
Love the natural frame!
Congratulations on your 100th post! Hopefully Mr Hale will soon have a better view.
Hopefully, he'll be back among the throngs very soon!
