A view looking east on Upper Middle Rd in Burlington by the railway overpass. The three sculptures are of orchids, a controversial installation that is in the middle of a busy road which does not allow for any access, or time while driving, to enjoy or really even see the art. This was taken from a far off hill with a long zoom, and closely cropped. I must try again for a better shot.

In Weymouth (Dorset, England) they have paid a lot of money for a sculpture in a hole at a busy traffic intersection. There are big lumps of something (stone?) on poles so they just about poke up from the ground and into view . . . and the cars whizz by them. In your picture, the old fashioned street lamp is a surprise too.
Looks great in black and white.
I think this is a great shot which lends itself beautifully to monochrome. Why do the city fathers agree to putting lovely sculptures is places like this. It makes no sense. It is a shame you cannot take the time to see them . genie
I am not sure if it is on its best in B&W. The artist must have use color for its design of the orchids. Perhaps a trick like the shot of Wayne also on this site makes it better and let them stand out more.
if only I knew how to do that trick!
I love b&w urban scenes!
Yea, that does seem like a bad place for art, unless you’re stuck in traffic!
The clouds are what caught my eye!
Very belatedly, «Louis» thanks you for this contribution to Sunday Bridges…
