Sculptures are common features at several stations along the Light Rail lines. Returning on the homeward commute, I stopped off at the Colorado station. Here may be found the “Big Boots” with steel toe caps.<\/p>\n

In reality, these boots stand about 7 feet high and appeared to be constructed from welded stainless steel. Much of the area of the boots comprises welded rings as can be seen near the toe cap. There is also a plaque announcing the name of the sculpture (Big Boots).<\/p>\n

I retraced my steps back to catch the next train to the Louisiana-Pearl station, two stops away. Here may be found more sculptures in the form of leaves. These leaves form the roof above the elevator and stairwell to the station platform.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to the station exit are these benches laid out in the form of an S-Curve. When the sun drops low in the sky, some distinctive shadows are cast below the benches.<\/p>\n

This day, I rode my bike between light rail and my destinations. Returning down Pearl Street, I spent most of the time walking! Along the way, I passed these two child-sized chairs.<\/p>\n

Across the street, the wall of one store was mounted with a drawer unit, apparently suspended in mid-air.<\/p>\n

The windows were dressed with these colorful green lanterns and one umbrella.<\/p>\n

Outside, the gas meters were fortunate to be located near some colorful flowers in a planter.<\/p>\n
