My Capture of Fearless Girl
I love wandering around downtown in Manhattan. I really like how Fearless Girl was put in place to challenge the Charging Bull. I captured this shot very early one morning. It is usually very crowded with tourists doing unspeakable things to the bull, you may be able to guess what part of his anatomy the rub for luck LOL.

Fearless Girl is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal, commissioned by State Street Global Advisors via McCann New York, depicting a Latina girl facing the Charging Bull (or "Wall Street bull") statue.[2] It was installed on March 7, 2017, at Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The statue measures approximately 50 inches (130 cm) tall, and weighs about 250 pounds (110 kg).
Fearless Girl was commissioned by investment firm State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) to advertise for an index fund which comprises gender-diverse companies that have a higher percentage of women among their senior leadership. The plaque below the statue states, "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.
