Spirit of Nebraska Park Monuments, Omaha (must see)

Spirit of Nebraska Wilderness Park symbolizes the link between the spirit of the past and optimism towards the future. It is one of the most expansive bronze monuments in the country. The monument starts from Pioneer Courage Park at 14th street, passes through 16th and Dodge Street and culminates at First National Tower Wintergarden. The monument reproduces the scene where nine bison, who were disturbed by people from Pioneer Courage Park, ran to Spirit of Nebraska Park and chased away a flock of 58 geese from the water. In such way the bison creates a link between Pioneer Courage Park and Spirit of Nebraska Park. The geese, having been disturbed by bison, soared from the granite fountain, where the water splash give the impression of a take off. The statues of flying geese are attached to buildings and light poles and the last geese, that represent the link to the future, are placed in the interior of the First National Tower Wintergarden.
