These two photos were taken 3 years apart, as you can see the feet of the statue have been moved from the ground to the pedestal and the area generally tidied up. I am really not sure what I feel about this, it seems to be changing the look of the place and making it new and fresh, a restoration too far?
This was taken 2011, you can just see me at the top of the ramp which gives you an idea of scale. The photo is taken from the top of the first pylon by Colette Mason.

This photo was taken this week by Linda Verhulst same location.
After asking the question on Facebook I was reassured by Francoise Tonic that Christian le Blanc has no plans to restore the colossus itself, I hope that is true, that would be a step too far for me.
