This was taken near Love Park in Philadelphia. There are giant size game pieces outside a nearby building.

I think it would have looked better if there was something to show that it was a giant knight piece. If I were just browsing I'd just assume it was a closeup shot of a chess piece. Like perhaps a pigeon perched atop or some pigeons on the floor?
