Ha! Good question! He’s behind the cow and out of the photo–I guess I wrote the caption poorly, but Statue of Heroic Paniolo Ikua Purdy is the title of the subject of the sculpture…A picture of the whole sculpture can be found here (http://www.igougo.com/attractions-reviews-b341258-Waimea-Parker_Ranch_Center.html); somebody else took this, so I’ll try to get a better one up on the blog sometime–good point!
