The Vast Array of Sculpture in Libbytown

It was such a picture-perfect day when I took some photos for my 20 Things To Do in Libbytown post that I couldn't help noticing trends around the neighborhood. For starters, there's lots of sculptures!

There's plant pots.



Brighton Avenue Brick Colonial




There's circular sculptures.


Edwards Street

There's municipal sculptures,




Portland Water District's emblem of pride




Educator's memorial behind West School

Spiritual sculptures,


Beautiful angel in front of beautiful Bradley Street home


This peace sign lights up at night!

And religious sculptures.


St. Pat's Church




Former St. Pat's School, now St. Pat's Condos. Where's St. Pat?


Oh, there he is, 1/4 mile across the street at St. Pat's Church...silly roaming statue.



There's lions,






Elephants,



And bears! Oh my!




Johnson's Sporting Goods

There's the mean sculptures,



Hiss! On Massachusetts Street

And the benign.


So plastic, so peaceful



Some parts of architecture,



Jimmy luvs the bumpy terrain of bulging-root brick sidewalks

And last but not least, the eco-sculpture that dots our streets every Thursday morning.


Portland's blue trash bags and recycling bins



Even Libbytown Dumpster-, er, EcoSculpture-Diving has its rewards

You never know what you'll find in Libbytown!
