This series will take you to pieces of artwork, sculptures or down right goofy things that I thought would be fun for people to take their pictures with. I find that even though going to meet and greet events, that it is still hard to put faces to cacher names and thought that through these "selfies”, it would be a great way to get to know others in this hobby. While a photo is not required, it would make this old rum addled barnacle encrusted octopus fart, a happy fellow if you included one.
This the fifth in the this series for me. I stumbled across this one while taking a short cut on an errand I was running. Once upon a time I had lived only a couple of doors down from this building and never knew that this piece of art work was here. If you look up at the roof of the building at the GZ, you will see a sculpture of a person enjoying one of my favorite past times.
The funny side story for this piece is, when I went to ask permission to place a cache here, the person in the office let me know that she actually hated the piece and would love to have it removed. From my understanding, this piece was moved here from another location by the building owner, who really liked it. Some of you may say you know where it came from, but I can tell you that you are wrong. That piece is still overlooking the Capitol building right now. Hmmmm, one more for the series?
You don’t have to leave the sidewalk for this one, but it is a bit of a stretch. If you are vertically challenged, just admit that in your log and don’t worry about signing the log. This one was a bit of a stretch for me too. Enjoy and as always, suggestions for other locations or feedback is appreciated.
