I'm not sure you can technically call this a statue. I only know that at one time there were several more of these supporting ladies outside the Field Museum in Chicago.

Lenin, located in Seattle. His statue was saved by a local artist, who then died tragically in a car accident. The family has been trying to sell the statue for years but nobody wants it. In the meantime it's on more or less permanent loan to the Freemont District and is pretty much the central point of the area.




One of a bazillion Sacagawea statues. This one was created for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition held in Portland Oregon. After the exposition it was moved to it's current location in Washington Park.

Here are a couple of pictures of the statue of John Ericsson, inventor of the screw propeller, and of the USS Monitor. The statue is in a traffic island in West Potomac Park, Washington, DC.

Default Metalmorphosis

This statue / sculpture is called Metalmorphosis. I love it! It has 4 (or 5) sections and at certain intervals they spin separately or sometimes together. It's kinda cool to watch. I envy the folks who can just look out their office windows and see this guy all day long!

This pic is to give you an idea of the size. That's my son- he is 4' tall. He loves to run around it in circles, one hand in the water! It looks like a lot of fun, but think I'll look like a nutcase if I tried it!
