Christine Fishwick took a trip to New York City in early September 1971 to visit her friend Marion. Here she is, sitting on a statue outside Penn Station in New York City.

I found the modern day shot of this scene. There is some great history of these statues (there were 21 in all, but only three survived in New York in 71'. This is one of two eagles that guard Maddison Square Gardens frontage within Penn Station.
I enjoyed finding these on Google Maps, I walked past it on street view, bit weatherbeaten now though, but they looked awesome in their day. Believe it or not 'A WIGAN girl brought these to my attention when she sat on one of them in this 'OLD' great foto.
Here's a link for comparison to paste in, if your interested.
