More Favorite Sculptures
I like finding art in public places, especially quirky sculptures.
I took the picture below in Washington DC many years ago, but we also have one of these in Seattle. If I have to tell you what it is you’re not as old as I am.
I found the 25 ft. couple more recently – on the waterfront in San Diego. You either know what the kiss is about or you don’t. And the lady really does have a head.
Wild horses couldn’t keep me from stopping for these stallions, galloping on a bluff high above the Columbia River in Vantage, Washington.
And last but not least is one of my favorites – the Monopoly Iron. I never liked to iron but for some reason it was my token of choice when playing Monopoly. It has since been replaced by a cat – the Monopoly piece not the sculpture – so if I ever play the game again I will choose the cat. Which seems rather fitting.

I used to like to be the dog in Monopoly.
As for the top one, I am older than you, but I still don’t know what it is! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Guess I better tell you then! It’s a typewriter eraser! 😁
Aha. I had a typewriter, but not one of those erasers.
I just saw there was an earthquake in Seattle. Did you feel it? I thought that was rather unfair since you had just been through the ones in L.A.
Strange, huh? 4.6 in the middle of the night! But we missed it (thankfully.) We were in the North Cascades a couple hours northeast.
I love the typewriter eraser! And of all the times I’ve been to San Diego I’ve never seen the “kiss”. I have also always liked that photo. As for Monopoly, like Pete, I always wanted to be the dog, too!
Aw thanks so much! I don’t think the Kiss has been in San Diego that long so maybe that’s why you missed it. It’s near the Midway ship. The monopoly dog is cute, but I always liked the iron, but happy to know if it had to be replaced it was with a cat! 🙂
