Before we get on with today's GAPP, I just wanted to mention that Puzzle Ramayan is coming up this weekend! From Prasanna: "This is a slight step up from the PANFOPCWHTTAPA series (mainly more puzzles, some variants along with classics) but there should be many easy puzzles to get into in this series too." See this post for more details: Discord message

Ah, yes. Sometimes it's nice to just spend a day at a statue park admiring all of the beautiful art and impressive construction. It's relaxing, fun, and sometimes inspiring! Hopefully today's Statue Park GAPP will bring you a similar feeling! 😄

Rules: Place each shape from the bank given outside the grid into the grid exactly once so that no two shapes share an edge and all unused cells form one orthogonally connected area. Rotating and reflecting shapes is allowed. Cells with black circles must be used by a shape, and cells with white circles must not be used by a shape.

Note that shapes may be placed that do not touch any black circles.

As always, but especially today, I heavily recommend solving today's example puzzle (courtesy of Eric Fox) before attempting today's GAPP. You can solve it here (Penpa+): https://tinyurl.com/ymnyastu
