Description


Last Thursday, when Jill and Char and I were running around, we stopped in Fremont to hang out with Kurt (kurtsart) for a while. Fremont is the self-described "Center of the Universe." There's even a sign and everything! This is actually several blocks up from The Center of the Universe. I guess that makes it slightly off-center. Of course Fremont is a little off-center anyway, no matter where you stand! Fremont is pretty famous. Google on it and explore to your heart's content! Look for "Waiting for the Interurban," which is a wonderful statue of ... well ... people standing at a bus stop, actually. There's a Volkswagon-eating troll under a bridge. Discover "The People's Republic of Fremont." Imagine nude people bicycling through the streets of Seattle! Tour the Red Hook Brewery. It's a nice place, Fremont. Seems perfectly normal to me!! So. There's this place across from Kurt's work that makes statues. These were lined up in the alley. Shot hand-held, zoom, from across the street. I like the little one, hiding in the middle. .......... Edit note: Fremont is a district in Seattle. Sorry to have been unclear!

I liked this when you posted it in the picture below me forum, I must say it looks better here a bit larger. I suppose they could have used these at the bus stop as well.lol. When I first looked at these they reminded me of the terracota army, standing in a row like that. Excellent capture Tara. Bravo!!!!!

I googled it and it is the center of the universe. I did it, I stuck a pin in it on a galactic map and I moved everything until it was right in the center, amazing... LOL... :) Nice capture of these stone gods of goddesses, whatever they have big earlobes! Todd

My, what long earlobes you have, Grandma! Evidently, gravity has had a most telling effect on these Southeast Asian ladies. In any event, an interesting capture on display here. And I'll have to google Fremont, of which there are probably several sites to cavort through.
