Our current assignment as interim innkeepers is in
Golden Colorado. Golden is a super charming town nestled between the big city of Denver and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The city has done a great job in making a naturally beautiful area even more lovely and very enticing for tourists. They have historic buildings, lush parks, charming shops, gourmet restaurants and lots of public art. GPAP [Golden Public Art Program] has funded 30 beautiful bronze statues scattered all over the city. Kirk and I have made it a point to check out as many as possible. We have not yet seen all 30 but here are our favorites:
"The Cowboy" is Kirk's favorite, DUH!
"A Friend to Lean On" is definitly the cutest.
This one is in front of the Library and is called "Secret Garden"
I am also very fond of this little monster - "Cameron's Dragon"
But my absolute favorite bronze statue in all of Golden Co is:
"Sleeping Bear"
Yes, I've been to Chicago and seen the "bean". I've been to Paris and seen the Eiffel tower but I really do like Golden's Bronzes.
Where is your favorite public art?
