Man and Hammer

In Rockefeller Center. This engraving confuses me. Why would the Rockefellers commission an engraving of a guy with a hammer, which seems to represent the working class? Maybe this is a representation of a Greek God that I am not familiar with?

Theme of the Day: Pigs

A couple of years ago the Pike Place Market celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the ways in which they celebrated was to allow many artists to take a pig and do what they wanted with it, within certain guidelines, shall we say. The pigs were planted/displayed around the core downtown business area. You could pick up a map, which I did, to locate all of the pigs. I spent a couple of hours one morning, armed with my camera and pig map, photographing as many pigs as I could stand. Here is a sampling of my adventure that morning.

Saw this object in the courtyard of an apartment building.

Then there is this bike, in a very odd position. Maybe it was the only way it could be locked to the rail?

Unnecessary Sign?
Unnecessary Sign?

The last oddity of my Capital Hill experience today was this sign behind the fence. The sign seems a bit unnecessary.
