 We were traveling back from a short vacation in Vermont and passed through Saugerties, a town in upstate NY. Lining the sidewalks were statues of dogs composed by artists.
"Each year since 2009, the Saugerties Chamber of Commerce has organized a summer long street exhibition that draws thousands of visitors and shoppers to the village to admire fanciful works by local artists – all variations on a common template. The last several years have featured butterflies, owls, horses and hippie vans; this year the theme is Barkin’ around Saugerties."
Of course I had to park the car and walk around taking pictures! The dog in the car was on a pedestal and platform on the sidewalk. I took the picture at an angle which when I cloned out the platform it looks like the dog and car are on the street!

Autonomous.

Back again, finding it odd that the passersby don't seem concerned at all. Ha!

Haha! Again, another one that I'm not sure needs a second look, but it will be fun coming back to it.

Yup -- just as compelling the second time around. I love the side-eyed look the lady is giving, and the fact that the guy isn't looking at all. -8-
