A reader sends this one in from 5th and E St, NW:
“I’ve never seen this before so I thought I would pass it on. Surprising and cool thing to see on my walk to work today.”
I think we once admired this in the past – is it related to the children’s science museum? Anyone remember the story behind it?
I sometimes take for granted how incredible these fire box conversions are. I haven’t seen this one in years. It’s especially awesome how they incorporate both sides into the sculpture. It’s also pretty brilliant how they highlight different periods of history.
Description, artist and dedication after the jump. (more…)
From T Street just east of 14th.
My favorite founding statesman – Bernardo O’Higgins. Statue from Mass Ave in Dupont.
From Mt. Vernon Square.
I was gonna ask about sequestration this week but to be honest I’m just sick of sequestration. Yesterday I posted one of my favorite lion sculptures and others voted for their favorites. So to get as far away from sequestration as possible – I wanna talk outdoor art today. It can be either from a private residence or from a museum or government owned. For non private, I love the Kahlil Gibran memorial garden sculptures and poems. From a private home I love this origami crane from Dupont. What’s your favorite piece of outdoor art?
Of all the lion sculptures in town – this is my favorite. Near 15th Street NW around S Street.
