this is great. is it new?
I think it is the same one I photographed in February. These things often stay up way longer than I would expect, being they are so ugly and so easily gotten rid of. This one would come down with a single slice of a box-cutter. They may be spared out of fear of destroying a nest, but I doubt that any sane bird would move in. They are the work of a Swiss artist.
"so ugly and so easily gotten rid of"
good argument in favor of gentrification.
btw, I like the fact that you came back later to document what these things looked like after a few months.
It would be funny to replace it with one made of glass and steel, 23 stories high..
I think you should put up a new erection. As you say, 23 storeys high… I prefer stories …
That’s so cool … definitely better to have stories. Stories are bound to have stories.
