Participant[mention]Catedrew [/mention]contributions have sensitized us to the beauty of chainsaw Art. I found Yogi Bear’s family of chainsaw sculptures “Bearly Getting By” earlier today while riding around in rural Pennsylvania (Weissport) in the Lehigh River Valley

ParticipantSo many beautiful murals to choose from today at Dewey Park and along the way. This one is my submission, but to see others, you can look at my strava photos.
Thanks to those of you who have posted your photos of the murals – they fueled my desire to see these in person. LOVE these birds although I think the one on the right is trying to get on my bike!

ParticipantProbably my favorite so far of the LOVE sculptures I’ve visited.
Guess what it incorporates in the design? And yes, it’s right along the W&OD Trail in Leesburg, where the trail crosses Harrison St.

ParticipantI meant to go take pics of the Port Town murals the week you put that out as a challenge. I remembered that plan today, when I biked right past one. (Right by Bladensburg Waterfront Park)

ParticipantArt restores the soul mural in Adams Morgan. It’s in the same alley by Philz Coffee/One Medical next door to Ratzilla.

ParticipantA belated mural for Presidents Day! I thought this mural at the intersection of the MBT and R St was about Lincoln since the top is what you usually see from a distance but it’s actually to honor the workers that made the monument which you can see when you get up close. Thank you to the workers!

For more of the backstory about this mural, WAMU had a story a few years ago. https://wamu.org/story/17/08/22/northeast-d-c-gets-new-mural-honoring-workers-built-lincoln-memorial-statue/

ParticipantPublicart at Reston Town Center. Part of the Virginia LOVEWorks program – they’re putting these up all over the state.
Behind it is the Mercury Fountain, a piece of art on its own!
