I love this artwork! I think it's at the back of a parking lot, somewhere in America. I did find out the location a while back but have totally forgotten where it is. I was wondering if any of you fine folk at Funtrivia could help me out.

This is in the US? It's wonderful! So, tell us where! Or, just tell ME where, if everyone else knows.

Thanks so much, Verbonica; extremely quick response too! I cannot take credit for the photo, I only found it online. But I do hope to go there one day and take a few shots for myself!

That's amazing!

I'd like to meet the artist/person whose idea it was.

Great idea! And I love street view on Google! I have checked out so many different places around the world.
