Face it, this thing looks like a milk carton with a head. It's not artistic. The only thing halfway interesting is its size. Eureka Springs is a lovely place to go, with so many talented artists. Why spend your time on such schlock when you can go into just about any shop downtown and see REAL art? Christ of the... more

Great Kodak moment agreed. For best lighting, go in the afternoon as the statue faces west and will catch the afternoon sun better. Getting the whole statue in shouldn't be a problem for most cameras. Park's open free all the time they said. Only thing is, late afternoon/early evening you'll be kinda pressed to find parking as the Passion Play... more
