Public art in a front yard along Main Street (US Route 7).
There's a continuing series of new posts this week at The WPII Blog, pictures from a health care reform rally in Hartford, CT.

Looks good - both the structure and the photo. Do you now in the U.S. a concept like "percentage for art"? Here in Germany for public buildings a certain amount has to be set aside for artwork.
Markus, yes, we do have that here. It depends on the state, but large public projects often mandate a percentage to be spent on commissioning artwork, most frequently sculpture because of the scale required.
You got me curious, so I pulled out the archive drive and looked at the original take. Another view includes the curator sign and it's just barely legible at 100% view. It says,

I guess when my White Birch tree ended up like that after a storm, I should have looked at it as "art" instead of firewood.
