This statue of a man's face was found in a store window on Howard Street. There was neither a sign identifying the artist, nor was the store open.

A complex statue by artist George Segal illustrated the sorrow and death at the German concentration camps. Here were a few of the dead laid out on the ground behind a barbed wire fence.

While walking down a side street in San José, Costa Rica, we happened upon this statue of a woman who appeared to have rejoiced to have run up the flag.

An antique statue of a boy was found in one of the store windows of upper Grant Street in San Francisco. The painted background created an underwater feeling, hence the suggestion of drowning.
