Every time I drive by this sculpture, the iconic song “All You Need Is Love” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney immediately comes to mind. Likewise, this sculpture is also an icon of American Modern Art with “Love” in upper-case letters, arranged in a square, with a tilted letter “O”. This is the signature work of art by artist Robert Indiana. And, if you are old enough to remember, Indiana’s ‘Love’ design was also selected by the US Postal Service as a popular stamp in 1973.
This night photo was taken with a Lensbaby Sweet 50, at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, Iowa. I used F2.5 with Auto ISO (3200) to get the max amount of blurry lens effects with a fastest exposure time since this was a hand-held shot. Have a happy Sunday and remember, love is all you need.

LOVE Park in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its officially named John F. Kennedy Plaza but everyone calls it LOVE Park because of the iconic sculpture by Robert Indiana.
More than you want to know:
JFK Plaza was designed in 1965 by the actor Kevin Bacon's father who was a local urban planner and architect. The LOVE statue was installed in 1976 for the bicentennial celebration and was so popular it became a permanent installation. The name Philadelphia is Greek for brother love - that's why the place is called 'the city of brotherly love' and why a Love statue was placed on this spot.
It's kind of a spicy urban location at night with skateboarders a plenty and also a little sad to meet so many panhandlers, homeless and overtly muddled people in a park called Love.
solarized, hue-shifted, desaturated, darkened, poster edges, but otherwise, hey, sooc.

Indiana’s iconic LOVE (Red Blue Green) on a grey day, seen in the countryside of Yorkshire Sculpture park It is usually shown in an urban context.
Indiana first used the word 'love' in a painting in 1961. In 1964 he began a series of LOVE paintings which used the slanted ‘O’ within a square format. Indiana said that this was “the most dynamic way to use four letters”. The sculpture of LOVE was first made in 1966, using aluminium. The LOVE sculptures still hold a close relation to the two-dimensional letters.
