Wednesday Walk & Make Me Smile: Who is a character in the statue of the small square of Las Taritas?
Inspired by the Wednesday Walk of @tattoodjay and collaboration with [Make Me Smile] hosted by @elizacheng
Hello friends,
I just finished the carnival celebrations and I thought about taking some pictures of the street decorations, but in truth, I was not very convinced by not sharing their background. So I told myself, no. I will continue to search the sites of the high Mirandinos in a short walk, I will only have to mobilize in our small Japanese Van, which has just left the workshop for a minor repair, so in order to test its operation.
On this walk my son accompanied me, first we left my wife in a training in the city of Teques. Then we travel along a narrow and winding road until we reach the selected destination. We had not been there for almost eight years. I was always tempted to stop to take a look, but for some reason I never did, today I satisfied my curiosity.

Once parked at the edge of the road, we got off and walked towards a small circular square of red terracotta, in the style of roads. From there, I saw a large house, a kind of sanctuary for religious rites, or thought it was a kind of agricultural market, totally wrong, thankfully I never went to market. LOL
The statue (Bust) of a man with European features and thick mustaches made in concrete, caught my attention. The search for some inscription with information about the character was unsuccessful, I suppose someone has stolen it with the intention of melting it and selling the material.
Also, an oxidized agricultural machinery next to a beautiful tree towards a slight contrast, although if we detail it well, not so much, if we consider that there are foliage everywhere being in the vicinity of a forest park.
When walking on the edge of the road, we saw some people waited for public transport in the direction of the Teques or the town of Jarillo, founded by German immigrants, probably the statue is one of them, perhaps Gerbasius Gerik. From there we saw an arch that welcomes this region of tourist interest.
On this Wednesday walk I take a homework, who is a character in the statue of the small square of Las Taritas?
I hope the photographs have been to your liking.
See you soon.

Hello @bdcommunity,
Thanks so much for your support.
What an interesting walk and I wonder who that statue is of
Thanks for joining Wednesday walk :)
Hello @tattoodjay,
Of course my friend! It was very interesting for me. Each place has something to teach, only you should look into the details and you will be surprised.
As for the character of the bust, I think it is Gerbasius Gerik because the small square is less than two hundred meters from the arch that welcomes the town of Jarillo. By the way, on June 27 of each year a holiday is celebrated in his name. It is only a deduction I think the task is simple, to do the town during the holiday, there will probably be more than one who knows the history of the square or maybe, I meet a descendant of Gerik.
I really like to belong to the Wednesday Walk. By the way! Very good idea to create a community in steemit.
thanks for the info I am still not totally up with how communities work but decided to go for it ;)
