It's a sculpture! This was vandalized and is now gone, but it always startled me when I was down by the river. It was made by this guy...

It's outside the public library...well, not anymore, but it was before they took it down.

eggplant..the whole thing is made out of bronze.
and no other background was available that day!!

:P

@Ana: Touché, but do you know what I'm sayin'? There's like a gazillion branches and poles and bushes and cars and windows and other stuff, too.
As for your public service announcement published elsewhere, I agree...quite slow around here. Do you think it's the fact that most of these photos are sort of snap-shotty? (and, no, I'm not being snotty) it's just sort of a departure from our usual artsy type stuff...very subject oriented, and not so much about photography itself.
Also, your friend King has been quiet, and he usually stirs up some noise.
In any case, I went in and did some work...thanks for the prod.
