My friends Wally and Mark and I took the Light Rail to Denver's Union Station Friday night and walked from there to Churchill's Public House for dinner and beers. Our walk took us across Denver's famous Millennium Bridge into Commons Plaza, and from there across Common's Park and the Platte River to the Lower Highlands neighborhood. Our route took us past several public art works, including the one above and the famous "Hill of Beans," another beloved piece of public art (see last Tuesday's post). And I must say, Wally was truly impressed by the "Hill of Beans" sculpture. He couldn't stop starring at the sculpture, and spent the rest of the evening shaking his head and muttering to himself about it. And that's what public art is supposed to do, no matter how much it winds up costing the taxpayers. Keep on muttering, Wally!
