Torrington, Connecticut
I did a double-take driving through the gate to this parking lot. I park here quite often when I go to shoot in Torrington, because I don't need to stuff quarters into a meter as I would if I parked on Main Street, plus, there's interesting stuff to walk past. It serves a town ballfield where not only school teams but some sort of minor league team plays games. As I walked around the town, I found that there was some sort of art project going on, with several local galleries teaming with a local yarn shop. This struck me as interesting, but I didn't really find any other pictures. Parking meter cozies are really the knitter's work, nothing much for me to add, except for this one.

This is a great find on your walk past the baseball field. Not sure if this counts as a "yarn bomb" or not, but I like it.
This one gives me an impression of some hapless small creature that's been trapped, killed, and its hide pegged out (to warn off others?)... it's like a slightly gruesome 'trophy', beyond just the decoration (or signage) aspect.
In the same way that there's more going on with graffiti, than just property damage.
Yeah, it's fun, but somehow a bit creepy as well. None of the other "installations" around the town struck me as visually interesting.
