I am back from pool and have not caught up with all the posts
I find the story bout the Seattle statue of Lenin fascinating
a man goes to russia after fall of communism and finds statue of lenin in trash
brings it back to seattle, tries to sell it
however no city in USA can buy it to put in public park
cause it is statue of Lenin
on other hand it is magnificent artwork
so city of Seattle allows him to display it with a for sale sign in small backwater street
of every post I ever read on DD, this fascinates me the most
because of unusual juxtaposition of current events
thanks andysmom, you're the best

You are right on target about that Lenin statue....

There are many statues in all cities, but usually they ar sanctionned and owned and whatever by the city....this Lenin statue is just an exception.....

Its just such a stunning statue, I dont care its of Lenin...I can separate artisic merit from the subject matter...some folks cant tho...

One of these days, I will get a camera that I can use to post pics on the net, and then I will hopefully be able to show this pic on DD....

Being so fond of pigs, I especially like the big metal piggie...last time we passed by it, some folks were having their pics taken in front of it...he/she is quite a big,shiny sturdy gent/lady....

I wonder if they made that pig in honor of the two big metal pigs up in Pike Market...that pig in the market, is the Pike Place Market mascot, and its really a huge bank, for folks to put their change and bucks in, to help support different social programs in the Pike Place Market neighborhood...
