There Be Giants

image of giant water faucetThis water faucet is approximately 20 feet (6 meters) tall. The red water hose is over three times as long. It is part of the art work by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The sculptures are located around the world. View scores of the pieces here: (link). My favorite was the "Buried Bicycle".
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
- from the song "Pinch Me" performed by Barenaked Ladies, written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson (c) 2000
