Bratislava, Slovakia: Cumil the Sewer Worker

You won't be surprised to know that this is the most photographed sculpture in Bratislava. And maybe all of Slovakia.

Say hello to Cumil, the sewer worker. He has been around since 1997, as the city tried to come up with some interesting ways to create interest in downtown. As you might expect, pedestrians are often tripping over him, to the point where there is a sign over his head. And cars sometimes give him a bump.

It's hard to say what's he's doing. Is he taking a break? Pondering the area? Seeing a friend? It's been suggested he is what Americans might call a "peeping Tom."

No matter what, though, bring your camera to see him. He's not going anywhere.
