Round Robin Photo Challenge...Public Art


Carly chose this challenge...go out into your community and take shots of public art. Well, Mark and I did that the other day. I downloaded the pictures onto the computer. Put them in a folder and added them to the existing folder of Round Robin Photos. The yesterday when I went to write this entry...photos no where to be found. I have no clue where they are. I have searched and searched. They have just disappeared. So this is Plan B.

A few years ago when we were able to visit Cassie, Trevor and the kids in Colorado. When the girls were in Junior or Senior High School we 'drove' 28 straight hours on a bus with about 60 other youth and adults for the National Youth Conference held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. It was fun to remember the times we had there. Lots of laughs and a few tears.
We parked right in front of this piece of art. I didn't see it. And when Cassie pointed it out to me I didn't get it. Are any of you as slow as I am? If you look really close at the children...they are spelling out Y-M-C-A with their arms like in the song by the Village People. I thought they were just balancing on the log.

I didn't notice it too until I read your post. Looking at them, I felt like doing the actions too and singing the song.

My eyes still have sleep in them - so I"m glad you pointed it out.
Now that song is STUCK in my head ha ha ha.

Talk about a little scenery to go with your art, whew! lovely.

At first, I just thought it was a whimsical piece of art...then, all of a sudden out of nowhere, The Village People started singing, "YMCA."

I hope this song gets stuck in your head all day because it is now embedded in mine.

Thank you very much.

Either way, balancing on a log or spelling YMCA, the scupture is great fun.
Oh, it's so frustrating when photos hide! I hope they turn up eventually. Meanwhile, I love the kids. I thought at first they were goofing off, but yes, they're definitely spelling out YMCA! And now that song is stuck in my head, darn it!

Oh man, I'm sorry for your lost photos. Hope they turn up!

I didn't get the poses until you said they were at the YMCA, but I knew right then what it was all about. Love it! Thanks for the smile.

I have to take a second look to see that they are doing the YMCA!
