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...

I love pigs too
I'd love to see statue of piggy
and of course the Lenin statue also
it sounds like Lenin sculpture was designed for public artwork
I dont see how any usa municipality can buy it tho
altho the Settle museum of art could put it in its sculpture garden
but I kinda like where it is right now
it mighta been designed for a city street
Love, Palo
