Happy Birthday

This installation—thousands of pinwheels—
was created recently as part of the
celebration for the 150th anniversary of my
local park, Prospect Park, in Brooklyn.

[Linking back to Our World Tuesday.]

art or vandalism?

Saw this on LaGuardia Place in the Village.

Since it's right outside this beautiful community

garden, my best guess is that one of the

gardeners decided to turn some poor biker's

misfortune into an artistic statement.

What do you think?

Astor Place

This is Tony Rosenthal's sculpture "Alamo," installed here

at Astor Place in 1967 (btw, a VERY good year).  These kids

came along, and the girls had a hard time convincing their

friend that he could move this huge thing.

But he turned out to be a good sport 

and gave it a push—and voila!

"Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper"

That's the name of this piece of sculpture

by Sergio Furnari, which he based on this

famous photo by Charles Ebbbets (which

is also depicted on the side of the pickup

truck).  You can find this parked at various

places around the city (if you're lucky)—

I caught it on Spring Street, in Soho.
