I’m going with a work-of-art on this one.
Every other place at this WEBSITE has a location listed for it; this one’s description is “AMAZING WATER FOUNTAIN.”
My search says he’s the Giant, at the entrance to Swarovski Crystal Worlds, in the Tyrol…. in Wattens, Austria.
There’s a park, museum, restaurant and (of course) a huge Swarovski store.
But I’m wondering whether either this one is a copy, or the photo is altered, because other pictures I’ve found show a door in the base, and a whole museum beneath him.
In any case, an odd looking sort of fellow, in my eyes, to represent a world of sparkling crystal.
It looks like changes have been made in the time between the pictures. The first shows a scattering of loose rock at the water’s edge, the other two pictures show a small rock wall/ledge.
My answers to the 15 questions of nighthawks’ found version are first.
The full(?) puzzle and answers appear below.
1, Time
2, Comfort
3, Drop
4, War (I’m giving myself this one)
5, Twilight
6, Tropic (I’m giving myself this one)
7, Danger (had to look it up)
8, Euro
9, Dead (I had to look it up)
10, Strike
11, Occupied (I’ll accept the official answer)
12, Danger (again)
13, Duty Free (I’m giving myself this one)
14, No Fly
15, Protected (I’ll accept the official answer)
the last time I posted a puzzle that was similarly extensive and time-consuming , I saw that that was unpopular……so I truncated it to the first fifteen
Weight, surface area, and speed. Think of skis, when you’re moving fast enough they keep you on the surface of the water (Or powder snow) but if you slow down too much you sink.
The greater the surface area, the slower you can go and not sink.

They must have a gigantic rock tumbler.
Wear grippy footware if it rains.
Paved with good intentions, no doubt!
LOL. What a fun band. They polka lot of fun at hard rock music.
…
I can come up with a sentence that fits the letters and the description… but it contains words I don’t use here.
Er… I mean..uh… words I don’t use… Yeah, that’s what I meant.
Anyway, I have to assume that by “code” he means “acronym”.
Or something like that 😉
Since I’m pretty profane, that came to me as easily as LOL
LOL!
Exactly… even though, of course, I don’t know what those words mean. 🙉

oh yeah–if I get an image that is suspected AI, I like to include a shot from another angle, proving it is real

Very careful attention given to angles and width of field it looks like.
It looks like changes have been made in the time between the pictures. The first shows a scattering of loose rock at the water’s edge, the other two pictures show a small rock wall/ledge.
The thing is, AFAIK, he was purpose-built on top of and along with the museum.
Nighthawks’ bottom picture shows the rock wall, as well.
It’s possible that the top picture was in the off season, or maybe some other time, when it needed a bit of maintenance.
BTW I’m wondering whether there are crystals in the “paving” of the nose and eyes.
I guess Chia pets come in all sizes now.

Ah Yorick, a lad of infinite jest.

That mane dish looks very fishy to me.
I’ll take it!!!
Me too… and I’m not lion!
Have I told you hamachi love zoo-shi?
It’s all a bit Raw’r than I like it.
Boo! All of you! 😀

It looks like it was made from old beer cans.
all rusted and shabby-looking– an early Iranian or North Korean attempt at rocketry?
I wouldn’t send a kid up in a crate like that!
LOL
drawing of Manhattan Island NYC in 1867
well, I thought it was funny
Better than a broken bone.
Boo! 😀
All puns are bad. Some of them are just better at it.
The physics behind this escape me….
It has to do with lift and thrust.
Weight, surface area, and speed. Think of skis, when you’re moving fast enough they keep you on the surface of the water (Or powder snow) but if you slow down too much you sink.
The greater the surface area, the slower you can go and not sink.
Aquaplaning on a wet road works the same way.
There’s no such thing as a bad pun… Only bad people who make them.
I think I saw that in Chinese fortune cookie
Can I make a couple more?
Of Corsican!
I suppose it would be a cheesy one, to tell Napoleon to try the Elba macaroni while he’s there.
Elba actually became his ex-isle, a year later.
Sigh … I was hoping to do better, but it’s the middle of the night … like Napoleon Basset, I’m coming up a little short.
where were you when I put this mess together?
Able was I . . .
I almost said it but I decided it wasn’t punny…
Besides, it’s famous.. I didn’t make.it up myself.
But yeah… “ere I saw Elba.”
I also like “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.” (Teddy Roosevelt.)
Gotta love that Clio. Her puns are deadlier than her bazooka.
