Keeping watch for holiday shoppers a metal rooster sits out front an antique store in Sunbury.

This is one of a series of photos I took while hunting for wildart in Sunbury recently. The first of the photos was put up on December 26 and I go into more detail about the day on that day's entry. On the town square there are several antique stores with items out front and one of the items caught my eye.

This rooster just seemed like an oddity to me with the fact that it stands about 4 feet tall and looked to be guarding the square. The sculpture has a bit of a patina from weathering and would probably be great for someones rooster collection.

As a photographer looking for wildart on a day when people are staying inside I tend to look for anything that might just be an oddity or something that you don't see. In truth that is most of our jobs as staff photographers. We look for something that the average person wouldn't see or hasn't seen. I guessed that most people haven't seen a 4 foot tall rooster unless they've visited the town square and even then they may have not seen it among the other stuff sitting in front of this store.

The only thing I would have liked is for the rooster and the ground to have more snow covering them. I think it would have added to the oddity.
