In response to the question about the origin or purpose for the statue in yesterday's post -
behold: The Clay Center.
behold: The Clay Center.
A multi-million dollar use of tax payer money that hosts concerts, houses the WV Symphony Orchestra, arts and science presentations, one of those big screen movie rooms (that makes me very very nauseous), a planetariumand so on and so forth.
All requiring a membership or admission fee.
[But in this day and age, what doesn't.]
Some of the art, fortunately, has spilled outdoors . . .
and you can photograph it for free -
if you don't count the taxes you pay
if you don't count the taxes you pay
every day
of every year
for the rest of your life.
All snidness aside, it is a beautiful facility with some wonderful art, science, and entertaining experiences -
many things you might not expect to find in a tiny little old state like ours.

Well, at least they let you photograph it for free. Don't mention that to anyone in charge, though, or they may start making you pay. :) Love the creativity of those statues. So animated!
