Giant Size, at least as far as seagulls go.

Nothing can compare with the hideous statue in San Jose, Ca. It is an eight foot tall statue of Quetzalcoati an Aztec God , actually a serpent, or to us common folk , a snake. There was a picture of it in the paper with the subtitle "Aesthetic Crime Scene ", another reporter refers to it as a pile of dog poop. I agree with both. It is beyond ugly.

Yep, dog poo would probably be the best medium to use in that case.

Dog poo would probably make a better statue than this one in downtown Tampa. Bout the size and appearance of a metal stegasaurus - or flower.

We have a statue in downtown Ottawa that is referred to as "The Giant Turd". I'll can't find a picture so it may have been removed. I did find another one though. We pay taxpayers' money for this crap? ....although it is kind of cute.

I'm going to be a bit "seldom" around here for a while - that's a Delta expression. When we get close to 500, somebody nudge me, OK?

Oh, I forgot. Some guys took a bunch of stones, put them in wire cages, set them at the library and screwed the citizens of Rock Springs, WY out of a bunch of tax dollars.

This piece of public art isn't too bad.

Brick locomotive

It's carved in brick and represents the history of the community.

Why, that is downright lovely compared to Quetzalcoati.

Bargoo - I found pictures of your snake statue. I agree - not very artistic.

So EZ - what's the EZ-Statue commemorating?
