Street Art

 Its been a while since I posted some random street art.

At first glance, this park in Cayce, South Carolina seems quirky with its colorful fire hydrants. 

A closer look lets the visitor know that it is dedicated to the canines working for the city.

A couple of charming hand painted picnic tables reside here.

A beautiful statue of the River Maiden is here too. She represents the forming of the Congaree River. The right arm is the Saluda River and the left arm is the Broad River. These rivers come together to form the Congaree. This is dedicated to the Native Americans of the area which date back 12,000 years.

Another sculpture in this park is a shining beauty.

Moving on to some random artwork we saw in Savannah, Georgia.


I believe this is a light fixture below but it shows like a work of art.

This little guy and his turtles are at a splash pad for kids.



In the city of Columbia we see many painted utility covers.


Cities need to have more colorfully painted walls!



A beautiful monument to a child who passed on is located on the riverwalk in Cayce.

All 4 sides are carved with whimsical artwork. Perhaps from a favorite story book.
 
Sad yet perfect.

The patio of The Hideout in West Columbia is colorfully decorated.

This place has healthy open faced sandwiches, avocado toast and good coffee.

I hope you enjoyed these random bits of art!

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
