+1 I'm so upset they did the landscaping over. But I love this one more than all the others.

The body parts fountain in north old town alexandria... it's a deconstructed face (ears, nose, lips) that spout water. And there's a mini-washington monument nearby too.

I second the Einstein Statue. And I love the NOAA seagulls. And there's these horses in Dallas running through a fountain that I like.

Circumstances caused me to remember one of my favorite statues, which is not in DC but in Boston on Commonwealth Ave. It's of a man, sitting on a "precipice" dangling his feet, looking out at the view very intently, and holding binoculars. On the bottom is says something like

Dream Dreams
Then write them
Aye, but live them first.

(Just found it, and it's Samuel Eliot Morison. He was in the Navy so he's probably supposed to be looking out to sea, but I always imagined him hiking and being a naturalist and looking at some amazing view)

Ok how about you?
