Pagan Storyteller Very interesting statue. The storyteller is surrounded by other animals who appear to be listening to a story. Not sure how long the statue will be there, there was a sign saying the park was going to be renovated.
Also, not too far from here is the Giant Fish.
[Chris Gemlo, 06/07/2010]A large sculpture of a seated man with a buck head (get it....buckhead). He's holding a large tree branch staff (looks like it may have lights on it). Quite a unique thing to see in the middle of the bible belt. The statue reminded me of the old celtic Lord of the Wild Hunt. Definitely worth a look see.

The Storyteller, also known as The Buck Man, was created in 1998 by Frank Fleming. The bronze tableau in Buckhead Triangle Park includes small sculptures of woodland creatures, arrayed around a naked bronze man with an antlered buck head. He is sitting on a log and holding a forked pole with what looks like two lanterns on the top (for another pagan fountain creation by Fleming, head to 5-Points in Birmingham, Alabama). In the same neighborhood as a giant leaping fish and a couple of silvery naked men.
