Bees, horses, and vermouth

Posted on December 7, 2003 @ 7:31 pm

Kourtney and I took the digital camera out for a spin today and came back with what I think are some pretty good photos. For instance, here’s a shot that we took on campus (click the thumbnail for a larger image):

But, wait–there’s more!

Here’s a photo of a locally-famous sculpture that’s located just outside of Athens:

Abbott Pattison sculpted the two-ton “Iron Horse” in 1954, and it was placed in a prominent spot on the University of Georgia campus. Students didn’t exactly take a shine to the abstract sculpture, scribbling on it with paint, shoving hay into its mouth, scattering manure on the ground behind it, and finally placing a mattress under it and setting it on fire. Amidst student protests, the “Iron Horse” was eventually moved to its current location in a remote field 18 miles outside of Athens.

Finally, here’s a random and somewhat creepy photo of a poster that’s in our living room:

Something tells me that I need to just take the plunge and launch a photoblog.
