Kaksi patsasta

Miellyttävä patsas
 
This statue in my neighbourhood Kukkovka is called "the Kukkovka cock", and as I'm sure you can see that pretty much describes it! Apparently the statue takes its motive from one of the possible etymologies of the name Kukkovka, that the name would come from the Karelian word for cock - kukko. Another possibility is that it comes from the Vepsian word for mountain, hill or mountain top - kuk - which makes sense with Kukkovka being a mountain.

This is a small statue not far from where I live. It's seriously creepy.
