Doing the morning school run the other day, I saw this unusual sculpture placed in the parking strip on a busy street.
Not at all sure what it’s doing there. Waiting for a new home? Providing emergency rest stop service for passing motorists? Sometimes people put out furniture or discarded building materials with a “free” sign, but this didn’t have one. I’ve seen bathtubs and sinks used as planters, but never a beige toilet, so I don’t think that’s in the cards. I just hope it goes away soon before someone decides to actually use it for its intended purpose.
Hey, nice water feature!
I have one almost like it in my backyard. (don’t worry no one uses it:)
Lovely yard decor! lol
I HAVE seen the likes used as a planter in my native Florida. Maybe this will be filled with petunias in the spring.
Maybe it’s a modern tribute to the famous art piece by Duchamp? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)
This has a kind of
“And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”
kind of quality. I can imagine that when you take your walks there is always something suprising or something will stop one in their tracks.
Believe it or not, the city will not pick those up on garbage day. We’ve kept a vigilant eye in our neighborhood for this type of dumping and usually call the police with an address and they site the person doing the illegal curb side dumping. So, if it doesn’t disappear soon, that’s what we’d recommend from our experience. Good luck flushing out the culprit… get it… flushing… it’s funny, right?? no?? yeah… it’s funny… LOL
I had to laugh! Then I laughed again because you stopped and took a picture of it.
Blogging [and digital cameras] have really changed what we take pictures of.
Hmmm…I’m surprised this didn’t make it into your sidewalk seating post!
