Laramie, Wyoming. We have some culture, really - we do!  The challenge of this just for fun series . . .
Can You Find It ?!
If you haven't been to - or live in - Laramie, Wyoming,  it won't be easy to do the  "Can You Find It?"  part of this challenge.  However,  I  hope  that  far  away  visitors  can  still  enjoy the  pictures!                             
 
This one is from the University of Wyoming Artu Museum Collection, a gift of Isadore Familian, in 1991.  Thought the statue itself was cast in 1972

This one is so odd  the way the figure of "Socrates" leans back - it makes it seem unbalanced.  Though its location is very apt - right in front of the entrance to the College of Law.

 I call this one "Fountain Girl".  There is no documentation of its real name or artist, but when I find out I'll come back and add it.  I do know that plaques around the base identify this a monument … (7 comments)

I had no idea this one had been around this long!  It was commissioned by Edward Ivinson in 1922 and dedicated in 1924.  The inscription says it was dedicated to … (5 comments)

 This one is definitely not serious but it may be . . . DEEP.  Is it a brain, is it inviting you to take "refuge" from your own thoughts with the carefully placed chair in the interior?  Or is is just … (6 comments)

Now this is  a classic  western sculpture!  Whoever D. Michael Thomas is, he did a great job - it's even got a little fun in it!

While I admire the artistry of  "serious"  sculpture (like Ben Franklin from yesterday's post), my favorite sculptures are the ones that bring a smile to my face - like this one!

You can tell this statue/sculpture has been there a while because it is so traditional.  It makes me wonder just how many statues there are of Ben Franklin across the United States....

The artist welded chrome plated steel to make this fun piece.  I'm not positive but it looks to me like bits and pieces of the old kind of bumpers that we used to have on cars and trucks!  Cool, huh?!
