That is one of the downfalls with Art. The potential location envisioned by the artist may be completely different than what it ends up being.

The leg would be good in a park or urban setting, fisherman good along the river, and the head in a health care setting.

Ha if you saw a guy in a lime green shirt, and khakis taking photos of the statues that was me

Didn't Otterness choose all of the locations? There are a bunch of flagpoles surrounding it. Maybe he thought the pole-like sculpture would tie-in with the flagpoles.

I have a hard-time believing that any artist who is offered to select the site doesn't get his or her way. So I'm pretty sure Otterness placed this piece there for a reason.

And now for some town shots:

Didnt someone take a pic of this bike like 3 months ago???

I was really worried that the gulliver ones would come out bad, but they really were pretty good. I just wish I could have gotten a better look (I parked at a meter, and only put a nickel in!) but just as I left a bunch of people began climbing all over it, and that was cool.

GRNow has a fun interactive map of the sculptures.

That's not funny!!!

[GRDadof3]

No kidding. That bike has been there for a while. HELLO!!

I got the Busy Beavers

This guy's a UPer for sure

[snoogit]

That's not funny!!!

I thought about taking it home and fixing it up, it looks like a nice bike, but it was a little small for me.

That bike has been there for a very long time. Its about time to snip the cable and make an artificial reef out of it.

[GRCentro]

This guy's a UPer for sure

I wonder which one.

[snoogit]

Anyone notice the one little (haha!) guy on "Big Penny" is inconspicously missing from the top of the penny in all the promotional material?

Same is true with the one in front of LV Eberhard Its always shown with the guy facing away from the camera

Ecaping Leg makes me want to ROFL every time I see it.

And that bear.. omg I wanna hug it.

[Greedo]

Bear is officially BEST! Like he's just standing there, waiting to grab a fish out of the Fish Ladder.

To eat with his bronzey, bear hands.

The map showed a fish sculpture with the bear, but I couldn't find it. I hope it wasn't stolen.

They don't have everything installed yet. The show doesn't officially start till June 1.

Or the bear ate it.

[Allison Slater]

Maybe just not added yet? (I hope)

We looked for it too near the Fish Ladder and couldn't find it. It's a walking Darwin Fish too, isn't it?

Waiting, watching, hungry....

National Geographic presents...

There were some pretty big fish shooting up the ladder today.

Great pics (as usual). I wish I had a job that let me be out and about on a regular basis. :/

[civitas]

I'm sorry, but I have to ask...

If we sometimes go into the woods to relieve ourselves,

do bears sometimes come out of the woods to relieve themselves?

From the rear this bear looks like he's maybe had too much Oberon.

Otterness must be in town. they moved the Marriage of Real Estate and Money

[civitas]

No matter where you go or what you photograph, Bridgewater is in the background.

I don't think he or the Gardens would move anything unless they were forced to, which makes me thing it had something to do with the owner of that property.
