Blue Bear Redux

I was looking over the photographs in my computer yesterday evening and ran across the above photograph of the Blue Bear, a piece of public art created by a University of Denver art professor and located just outside the Denver Convention Center.  This is a very popular piece of art work here in Denver, and probably the only piece of public art I actually like in this town.  At the bookstore where I work, they sell small replicas of this bear, which are very popular, too.  And so I say to the City of Denver: Buy more large, blue animal sculptures and fewer gigantic avant-garde dancers.  And I won't even mention the large pile of red beans by the bike path.
