Peter Pan on a surfboard?
Expat shows us how they hang ten: This charming bronze is on the bluff at the North end of Cardiff State Beach. Its official name is 'Magic Carpet Ride, 2007' and it's the work of Matthew Antichevich. The inscription on the plinth reads:GIFT OF THE
CARDIFF 101 CHAMBER
CARDIFF BOTANICAL SOCIETY
CITY OF ENCINITAS
PUBLIC ART COLLECTION
CARDIFF 101 CHAMBER
CARDIFF BOTANICAL SOCIETY
CITY OF ENCINITAS
PUBLIC ART COLLECTION
Considering the dismal examples of public art you can find elsewhere (naming no names but thinking of that ship's prow thingamajig where Laurel St. meets the airport road), I reckon this is pretty fine. And the drive down that stretch of 101 is spectacular, under any conditions.
