That driftwood sculpture is scary. I'd like to see the robot birds in action, and more of whoever did the Dali-esque clock.

Not too many pics yet but, overall, i like the fact that it's got a modern feel without being Tracey Emin-like.

I like the wooden stuff, actually. Wise old tree, very LOTR-like...

I still like the wooden tree best. Second would be the steampig. The elephants are OK but I don't find them over-exiting.

the elephants have a venue advantage......they are on a busy street with people walking under and between them all day long.....though Steampig has an advantage too, it's outside the B.O.B. (Big Old Building) across from the stadium which houses several restaurants and a half dozen different bars (which explains why it's the only entry my son has seen)....

Dancing with Lions is unique because of the media.....it is entirely made of common nails, welded together....


the Lure is probably the most imaginative.....the red discs hanging from strings move in waves caused by the air pushed by moving spectators......

my prediction though....taadaa.....is this


may look ordinary, but it is actually a stained glass mosaic....hand cut stained glass.....tens of thousands of hand cut stained glass....

and, this being West Michigan we've seen a preference in previous years for water related winners.....
