Thanks to sfwife for posting this in the abstract art category, her coordinates were used. She had posted it in the abstract sculpture category. My visit pics were used with her coords to post this.
I call this the 'chicken' sculpture. Bank is no longer Nations Bank, now Bank of America, and this is one of the tallest buildings in town (the weatherman loves this netcam). Having nothing else to put in their plaza, the bank got this large sculpture made. It definately does make sitting at the intersection more enjoyable.
