Structural Engineering: Colossus of Rhodes

The pieces cover the city's streets.
Loose Rubble, Bronze Plating and Steel reinforcing bars.
Random scraps here and there.
Workers haul pieces to the site.
The beginning of a massive statue stands in front of them.
The bright sun reflecting of the bronze searing the eyes of on lookers.
Helios.
He stands tall and bold in the sky.
The roman god of the Sun.
Holding a light above his hand.
Standing tall and straight.
Workers blood, sweat and tears are put in to complete him.
The entrance and guardian to the bay and harbor.
He watches all.
