Seattle (in the upper left corner of the United States) is rich with public art. Some samples HERE (and scroll down).

Seattle's public art tends to be abstract, and sometimes it spawns spin-offs in the form of private art. "The Hammering Man," shown in the link, has a little brother in front of a tavern (pub) in the University District. Instead of a man swinging a hammer, it shows a similar man lifting a bottle to his mouth. Both statues are animated (the arm with the hammer and the arm with the bottle both move slowly and rythmically).

In a plaza in front of the Seattle First National Bank building (a tall monolith, often referred to as "the box the Space Needle came in") there is a large, abstract form occupying a plinth. It's often referred to by local wags as "dinosaur droppings." The Space Needle (Seattle's answer to the Eifel Tower) is a legacy of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, which left many legacies, such as the Pacific Science Center, a large opera house (home of Seattle Opera, the fourth largest opera company in the U. S., and Pacific Northwest Ballet), plus several other theaters, home to several acting companies. In Seattle, if you can't find something of a cultural nature to do of an evening, you just ain't looking.

Often on Broadway Avenue on Capitol Hill, where Barbara and I live, one can often see people trying to follow the dance-step patterns inlaid in the sidewalk.

All this good stuff, in addition to spectacular views of Puget Sound, two mountain ranges, one to the east, the other to the west, and Mount Rainier towering above the landscape.

Beautiful place to live.
