On top of a granite column, the bust of Swedish inventor John Ericsson. Sculpture by John Börjeson. Ericsson has also been commemorated in Battery Park, New York City.

Beautiful. I love the lush green all around it too.
Beautiful, but It looks more the statue of a poet than the one of an engineer. I remember the statue in Battery Park, but I had no idea at the time who this guy was...
This is very nice. Is this the same Ericsson of cell phone fame?
Re your question on Ocala DP: That little bleu sign you can hardly see tells motorists that there is a hospital nearby...I'm sure it has an arrow, also, indicating which way one should go (if, of course, one needs a hospital)...
Actually, there are two hospitals within a few blocks of the sign!
Is he that cell phone dude? ;-)
This particular Ericsson invented stuff within a military and specifically a naval context.
cieldequimper: This was shot at dusk and the result turned out a lot better than I had expected.
VP: A poetic engineer, mayhaps. (Interesting that you remember the one in Battery Park.)
Jacob: Nope, different Ericsson.
Halcon: Could have been.
Thanks all for stopping by today.
quite an imposing statue per.
Not generally a big fan of statues but yes, I do like this one. Thanks, arabesque.
