Is there a better MSU spartan icon better than Sparty himself? I think not. So here is the next installment of the Spartan Landmark series. This is a shot of the newly placed Sparty. The original Sparty statue is now inside the new football stadium, protected from the weather. The original Spartan was created in 1945 by Leonard D. Jungwirth and measures 10 feet six inches in height weighing in at 3 tons making it one of the worlds largest free standing ceramic statues.
Picture Specifications:
- Camera: Nikon D300
- Lens: 18-135mm @ 40mm
- ISO: 200
- Aperture: f8

Awesome picture Sean…I may just steal this one! The clouds in the sky behind Sparty look pretty sweet as well.
I hope everything is going well…keep up the good work!

Amazing photograph Sean. I really love what you are doing here with your camera. Are you planning to eventually get some of these up on smugmug.com or something so I can order prints for my office/home?
