Snowflakes on W&OD
I’m surprised that there haven’t been multiple entries of this fund given its location right alongside the W&OD trail at Bluemont Park in Arlington VA

ParticipantGodzilla is big in Japan… and DC too! This is on Q St and there is a fun article in the Post about how it was inspired by a boy. I don’t know what this mural is titled but how appropriate for a sushi place!

ParticipantToday’s find is at the intersection of Fair Lakes Circle and Fair Lakes Parkway. I’ve always loved this piece. It’s big and bold and friendly.

The “mile” rule pertains to the minimum length of your bike ride, not the location of the public art. So go for it!!
