Park Art

 A small municipal park, located across the street and a bit up the hill (headed towards the Uwamachi district) from Yokosuka Chuo Station...

Nothing too special .... a few benches .... some sakura (cherry blossom) trees ... and a homeless dude sleeping out in the beautiful open air...

Then there's this:

 

  

All stainless steel & shiny .... Perfect loops frozen in time...

 

Set in place in September 1987 .... It's been there for a while .... The piece is called: "Open The Cosmo Yokosuka" .... According to one account, the old version of the small park, which is also located right next to Yokosuka's Children's Library, had been a gathering spot for local juvenile delinquents .... so, it was cleaned-up and the (artsy) monument was erected, and thereafter the problems kids stayed away .... a case of "art as teen repellant"...?
