From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This statue is permantly positioned in water of the Indian Ocean approximately 10 metres off shore from C.Y.O'Connor beach. The beach was named after C.Y.O'Connor who rode his horse in to the surf and committed suicide because of the accusations arising from the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme . The horse then returned to shore with his body, the statue is there as memorial to him.
Reason
its a wonderful choice of timing for the photograph, the serenity of the Ocean contrasted by the orange sky which is reflective of turmoil that surrounded his engineering of the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme
