Why a bird--like a composite of hawk and peacock.
If you look at it on Google Earth you can get another perspective. It kind of looks like a dagger piercing a parallelogram. Sounds weird - maybe you will have a different viewpoint.
I did and you are right, it looks in my view like a sword, where the tail is the grip and the wings are the guard. And it is Phenix park, so theirs is not like ours or China's.
Right? and does it look to you like it's piercing something?
The pyramid is at the tip. This view has less vegetation and better view of the pavement, which is an almost symmetrical pattern, so it gives an effect of parting something--two halves falling away to each side, like cutting an onion where you exposed mirrored layers..
Looks like a Phoenix....the phoenix is associated with all sorts of myths, legends, etc. At least that's what it seems....
I live in Phoenix, AZ (there are several other Phoenixes) and have seen many, many versions of a Phoenix bird. And the general version is more stork-like in wings and beak, and has some suggestion of fire. Maybe that's just a local convergence. The Chinese also have a traditional Phoenix which looks nothing like either this bird or our phoenix.This one has hawk wings and an unaerodynamic tail. Reminds me more of a Thunderbird, an Indian motif.
Interesting... what do YOU think it means in Kazakhstan?
Dunno. Our Phoenixes (Phoenices?) reflect the classical story about a singular bird that resurrects itself by laying an egg in a fire. Seemed natural to the early settlers trying to get started in the heat. This bird is drawn more like an arrow, or sword, and has a snake tongue or perhaps a snake in its beak, so it seems like a different story. Perhaps the "sword" is really a runway. It seems to end in a tunnel under the pyramid. It's interesting to look at it on Google Earth so you can zoom out and see all of Astana.
