Seattle public art making a splash...  
A series of new public art pieces are now installed along the new Link Light Rail in Seattle...

From the Seattle Times:

A huge blue ceramic raindrop and its equally enormous "splash" ... a 35-foot-tall garden spade composed of twining tendrils and bountiful blooms ... wrecking-ball-sized pears, halved and lassoed together onto fragments of train track ... .
 
A spirit of playful giganticism informs much of the public art along Sound Transit's new Link light-rail route between Seattle's Westlake Station and Tukwila. There are beguiling small touches, too — as well as one or two misfires. But it's the outsize exuberance of Tad Savinar's "A Drop of Sustenance," Victoria Fuller's "Global Garden Shovel" and Buster Simpson's punning "Parable" that may make the strongest impression on riders boarding the train Saturday when Link opens.
