I forgot to include my bike in this selfie… Art off the Carl Henn Millennium Trail at 355 and West Gude Drive in Rockville.
No bike in the pic (rule 2), no point, sorry

I C that you use “bar mitts,” too, to accentuate the curved lines. Great artistic interpretation!

I actually thought about taking off the bar mitts to get the curve of the handlebar without them, but decided that was wasting good riding time.

I forgot to include my bike in yesterday’s “art” photo on E 126th St in Harlem so it didn’t count.

January 4, 2021 at 6:35 pm #1107888historygeekParticipantHyattsville has murals all over the place. I’ll have to sneak out and get my favorites, but grabbed a pic of this one (along the Trolley Trail) as I chased a different pointless prize… [ATTACH=CONFIG]22065[/ATTACH]

I focused on the side with the boy reading. The other side shows a girl seeming to take off towards the sky. The figures are atop a stack of books.
I don’t know how to make the photo flip upright for posting. Any pointers?

This installation is the second phase in Cliff Garten’s Corridor of Light. The first one, installed in Central Place Plaza, is called Gravity and Grace. The third is yet to come.

One of my all-time favs, and only visible if you are south or west bound, and not north or east-bound. Go #publicartfinder !!

Another great #publicartfinder contribution, and one which takes on another “glow” at night with LED lights
And thanks for pointing out that yet another art installation is to come at that spot … anticipation!

Re sideways pic, this seems to be a common phenomena with droids as opposed to iPhones. Perhaps fellow droid users can offer up a fix? Change the file name, or save as a different file type (.png vs .jpeg)??
#publicartfinder on!

January 5, 2021 at 5:58 pm #1108034historygeekParticipantSince Ricky had us looking for birds, I went to Bladensburg Waterfront Park and took a pic of one of three birds there (with bonus bird flying in the background). I love that so many of these are still around the area after the big public art installation years ago. I don’t see nearly as many donkeys/elephants in DC. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22135[/ATTACH]
