Dundee, Scotland
A brief walkabout around Dundee, Scotland. We were only there for an afternoon and evening so ……..not much time to explore.
Kitsch
I drive by this house from time to time to see the latest additions, It’s interesting that, as much stuff that is displayed, I’ve never seen any evidence of tampering or vandalism.
Pigs on Parade #1
A few years ago the Pike Place Market celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the more interesting events surrounding this occasion was called Pigs on Parade. Various sculpted pigs were given out to various artists to decorate/paint as they wished. The Pigs would then be placed at various locations in downtown Seattle. I went around one day and photographed as many as I could find in the time frame I had given myself. So, over the next couple of weeks I will be posting those photos. The Golden pig, in this post, was stationed on top of a building in the Market itself.
Cicero
Bust of Cicero in the library at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Also in the library is The Book of Kells. 
Absence
Due to illness I didn’t post for a couple of the worst days. Seem to be doing better now.
Views of the Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn.
Hybrid?
This could be a tribute to a hybridization experiment gone horribly wrong or perhaps folk art missing the mark.
More from Alameda Street, Portland, Or.
Alameda St., in NE Portland, is a pretty posh neighborhood. I guess posh does not exclude being a bit different? The entrance door reminds me of a checker board. I am not sure why someone would place a life-size replica of a jockey on their property.
Piglet on Roof
Piglet on a roof on Alameda St., Portland, Oregon. I’m not sure what, if any, is the significance of a cement piglet on one’s roof, but there you have it.
Case of the Unknown Statue
- What does this mean?
This statue is located near the entrance of a major chain hotel in Seattle. I am not sure who this character is or what the meaning of this object might be. Any guesses?
