Yes I'm hiding...when you scroll down you'll see why
NC State University's mascot is the Wolf...we call ourselves the Wolf Pack.
This handsome trio of very handsome bronze wolves sit on the plaza near the NCSU Bookstore. The wolves stand 5' tall and each weighs about 1,200 lb. The sculptures are by San Diego based artist Michael Stultz...the grouping is called 'woven bronze'. Please click on any of the pictures for a close up of the wolves.
Anytime you see an NCSU wolf one is always howling as in the above picture
or on the prowl looking for intruders such as those sticky sneaky tar heels.
A little wolf trivia. We Wolf Pack fans always have a wolf with us and you can too by doing the following:Press your two middle fingers to your thumb, then raise your index finger and pinkie finger.Now you have a wolf head. By opening and closing you two middle fingers, you can make the wolf howl or sing the State fight song at a ballgame.
This sculpture below, sits in the middle of a very lovely and refreshing
water fountain outside of the Talley Student Center on the beautifulcampus of North Carolina State University.
FYI: In case you haven't already figured it out, we are very loyal
NC State University fans.

ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty "nifty" wolves.
The wolf sculptures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would be hiding too Madi :)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful but not as beautiful as you!
Madi--My son goes to a school where the mascot is the banana slug. You would not have to hide around one of those!
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky to have all 3 campuses near you - and I think they all are wonderfully beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHello Miss Madi!
ReplyDeleteNo hiding for the diva! We know your Mom and Dad will always protect you.
Those were awesome sculptures.
Mom said to tell you that she lost her Grandmother in 2002, when she was 92, and it was her funeral where the cloud picture was taken.
Happy Memorial Day

Oh Madi, those wolves do look a little scary but we don't think you should worry as you are always protected. Cindi says if you get too scared she will hide with you.
ReplyDeleteThose are really beautiful sculptures. The campus must be a nice place for walks.
Neat statutes. I like them.
