A rest area sculpture on Route 89 in Vermont.
There is a story to these sculptures, I just don't know it yet. Or know all of it. I found a picture of one of them online with this caption:
"One of 18 sculptures designed and fabricated during the International Sculpture Symposium held in Vermont in 1968 and 1971. Matching grant funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts."
From another source I learned the sculpture symposiums were organized by a much-loved and now deceased UVM professor. The sculptors came from all over the world, and the output was set at rest areas on Routes 89 and 91.
Last weekend's bicycle ride turn out to be a Smorgasbord of offensive graffiti-
This was the worst example..

"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to... efficiently process wastewater?" This tropical plant greenhouse is attached to one of the rest area on I-89 in Vermont, and provides non-potable secondary water to the rest area. It's impressive enough just for the set of plants that are apparently thriving north of the White Mountains :-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_machines

Apparently extraterrestrials aren't allowed at this rest area.
This rest area is also a "Michigan Welcome Center". Ok... nothing strange there. Most states have them near their borders. The strange part is that this welcome center is practically in the middle of the state, which seems really odd to me.
Well, that and the fact that they don't allow ET's there.

I drove through past Butte the night before (hard core). It was downpour raining going over Homestake Pass, too. Nobody on the road except me and the trucks. Hard core, like I said.
Behind this door I could heard some sort of engine or machine or something. I walked up to the door to vote and lost my nerve. After I got up close I started thinking that if this voting mechanism really exists, then my understanding of the world around me was fundamentally flawed. Voting would be taunting some force that i don't understand. There is no way of knowing what might have been.
Opened in August 2010, Tie Fork Rest Area is located in Utah on US Hwy 6 between Spanish Fork and Price. The design won a people's choice award sponsored by the Utah chapter of the American Institue of Architects.
At restarea Trunkelsberg. Unfortunately when it is pretty like this, it means usually an awful weather the next day... / Auf dem Rastplatz Trunkelsberg. Leider wenn er gar so toll ist, bedeutet das meist Sauwetter am naechsten Tag.
There's a rest stop in Michigan that features benches buried in dense flower patches. What do you make of this? Landscaping lunacy? Bizarre art? People-eating plants?
Hampden-North rest area in Hampden, ME. I was going to go in and check out the tourist info center, but the small parking lot was full.
