1/4/25 Sculpture outside Vienna Community Center. Especially love this because I’m a big reader and love that the sculpture implies that the little girls is setting off in flight from her tower of books. Flights of imagination and all that. (Quick Google search says it is actually called “Taking Flight” and was installed in 2017 in honor of a late mayor of Vienna)

1/4 Windom Road Barrier Park sculpture

Stumbled upon this one in the middle of the road, following the direction of the wind. Apparently it was erected in 2024

January 6, a mural painted on the west side abutment of the L36N railway bridge at the edge of Leuven, Belgium (referenced from Openstreetmap.org). The bike is there, but it blends it with the colorful mural of a racing peloton.

This mural was painted in the summer of 2021 on this particular surface to commemorate the 2021 UCI Road Racing World Championship. The course, along with using parts of de Brabantse Pijl (the Brabant Arrow) course, finished with 3 laps in and around Leuven that went up a couple of murderously steep, but short, “walls” on the northern side of Leuven, and that loop passed this point.
