Description
Last Thursday, when Jill and Char and I were running around, we stopped in Fremont to hang out with Kurt (kurtsart) for a while. Fremont is the self-described "Center of the Universe." There's even a sign and everything! This is actually several blocks up from The Center of the Universe. I guess that makes it slightly off-center. Of course Fremont is a little off-center anyway, no matter where you stand!
Fremont is pretty famous. Google on it and explore to your heart's content! Look for "Waiting for the Interurban," which is a wonderful statue of ... well ... people standing at a bus stop, actually. There's a Volkswagon-eating troll under a bridge. Discover "The People's Republic of Fremont." Imagine nude people bicycling through the streets of Seattle! Tour the Red Hook Brewery. It's a nice place, Fremont. Seems perfectly normal to me!!
So.
There's this place across from Kurt's work that makes statues. These were lined up in the alley.
Shot hand-held, zoom, from across the street.
I like the little one, hiding in the middle.

Edit note: Fremont is a district in Seattle. Sorry to have been unclear!

Fremont, as in California? They make these seemingly Oriental statues right there? WOWEE! I am shocked..............LOL All news to me too, but you sure ended up with a fascinating shot, and a delightful read, so many thanks!
Fremont, as in Seattle WA area, very cool place indeed! The Saturday market is well worth the visit, and the troll is a historical landmark!!!!! Cool shot here Tara!!!

Sounds like there's something kinda funny in the water at Fremont! lol! Nice pic and angle Tara!
I liked this when you posted it in the picture below me forum, I must say it looks better here a bit larger. I suppose they could have used these at the bus stop as well.lol. When I first looked at these they reminded me of the terracota army, standing in a row like that. Excellent capture Tara. Bravo!!!!!
I googled it and it is the center of the universe. I did it, I stuck a pin in it on a galactic map and I moved everything until it was right in the center, amazing... LOL... :) Nice capture of these stone gods of goddesses, whatever they have big earlobes! Todd
very interesting shot... and the place sounds great too
this is wonderful. i like the lighting and that little guy in the center; he must be the center of the Universe
A really Awesome shot and I like it very much. Well done.
wonderful image.... phenomenal story!
Temple of the 10000 Buddhas i guess :)))
I am going to have to get over and look Beautiful shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My, what long earlobes you have, Grandma! Evidently, gravity has had a most telling effect on these Southeast Asian ladies. In any event, an interesting capture on display here. And I'll have to google Fremont, of which there are probably several sites to cavort through.
Soundz like my kinda place. Interesting capture of this staturary exhibits. I guess the smaller ones faceing the wall are in "time out" (lol). ;-) hgz
I use to have relatives living in Fremont and passed there once but did not explore the city.excellent capture
The little one looks a little squashed but it is a great lineup.
Cool Shot Tara
