How well do you know Olympia? Here's the game: Each Saturday I post a picture from somewhere around Olympia and people try to figure out its location. The first person who gets it correct gets a Creative Commons Winner photo. If that doesn't get you excited then you're a wet fart on glass.

Submitted by enpen on Sat, 06/21/2008 - 2:10pm.Between you and your kids your family now has three. Do you know the name of the artist?

Now you've got me goin'...I'm sure there's something on this sculpture's origins. Who did you talk to @ WSDOT? I'm ready to poke around to see what I can find.

He designed the nine-piece work (the largest being eight-and-one-half feet by twelve feet) to "be accessible to people so that they can become involved both physically and socially."
