Stephen Pyles, Green River, Wyo., public information coordinator, took this photo of the “Maestro” sculpture in the city’s Expedition Island Park. “Maestro” is a bronze sculpture of a pelican by Colorado-based artist Scott Shaffer that was commissioned by the Green River Arts Council and unveiled in August at a ribbon cutting ceremony at Expedition Island.
Shaffer, a Colorado native, attempts to portray his subjects, usually birds or other animals, in the most realistic fashion possible so that nothing detracts from their inherent beauty, according to the city’s press release on “Maestro.”
