Many thanks to John for challenging us to focus on public art in all it’s forms and locations. You can find his original post at Lens-Artists Challenge #249 – Art in the Park (and other places)

Great collection! I really like the octopus and lighthouse sculpture, but Andy and Opie brought back memories of watching TV as a “young’un” (as Andy would have said.)

Thank you John. You can visit Mt. Airy, NC if you want to feel like you are in the town of Mayberry. I even had my picture taken in the jail!

We get to NC regularly as our son and daughter-in-law live near Raleigh-Durham. We’ll have to make a side trip, I think. 🙂

Great collection of art in the park and other places for sure. The Charlie Chaplin statue made me smile. We stayed outside the town of Waterville for a night, a nice and friendly town. I love that the statue overlooked the sea, and I enjoyed learning about more of his personal life. I think the Giant Chicken had to be my favorite this morning.

Donna, many thanks. Waterville was a stop on our Ring of Kerry tour. We only had a short time there but I thought it would be a great place to spend a few days. The giant chicken is in the tiny town of Chicken, Alaska.

Thanks Nancy! Charlie Chaplin was in a small, beach-side town in Ireland. He used to spend time there.

Terrific collection Beth! So many favorites but like several others I agree that octopus statue is really wonderful. The thing I loved about this challenge, which you’ve truly highlighted, is that art is everywhere and has a way of making us realize that in the end people have more in common than our contentious news reports would have us believe!

Tina, thank you so much! The octopus statue is one of my favorites, too. Yes, art is everywhere and I love to photograph it when I can. I had a hard time choosing which images to use.
