FS2021 #PublicArtFinder pointless prize

[Boomer Cycles]

Post your #PublicArtFinder pic here! But please do so responsibly by using the “small” option on your Tapatalk menu!!

Rules (which are more like general guidelines [emoji849]):

1. Ride your bike a least a mile to any art form (loosely defined) that is freely accessible to the public

2. Take a picture of said art with a bicycle somewhere in the frame, and upload to this thread, Strava and/or the FS Facebook page (but please include the link here so that it can be found).

3. Hashtag your ride #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) on Strava if you want to appear on the FS2021 PP leaderboard https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder

4. Public Art rides/pics must be posted within 72 hours, so as to allow all a fair chance to play, and avoid sandbagging at the end of FS2020 to game the PP competition.

Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on totally subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like a bike), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, and/or # likes, kudos or dislikes. Extra points if you disclose the exact location of the art form so that others may enjoy it.

Now go find your Public Art form!

A feast for the art lovers today. We rode down in Manassas. My submission photo (hashtagged for Strava) was the sculpture of the children playing. But … that was just the tip of the iceberg.

There were three “LOVE” signs, two little trains that had been embellished with painting (kinda like the panda series years ago in DC) and a church steeple that was just lovely. It doesn’t look as glowing in the photo as it did to my eyes, but still, pretty. So … here are just some of the photos.

No mosaics at Mosaic but plenty of public art murals. You should check it out. This is just a ‘taste’… although now I’m asking myself – what’s a mural and what’s a cool paint scheme?

#PublicArtFinder – Unexpected find next the Broome Athletic Park sign I was taking a photo of: Map of Rockville by Steve Weitzman. Couldn’t see much of this because of the melted snow and leaves. More details can be found here: https://www.weitzmanstudios.com/portfolio_page/rockville/

Now, while this submission surely defines the meaning of art being in the eye [emoji872] of the beholder, it has been referred to the faceless cabal to verify its eligibility

That is so cool! And so wonderful to see a gorgeous blue sky for a change!

At One Loudoun. Whimsical and given the evidence of footprints in the mud, a much photographed spot!
