M (Street) is for monkey

Taken outside the Navy Yard on the Anacostia River. I seem to recall taking this from the lane of a busy street while Tim kept watch because I didn’t like any other perspective I tried.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

The Capitol Hill Alphabet Animal Art Project, funded by the District of Columbia government and executed by the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, comprises animals and insects on lamp posts and street signs representing the name of the relevant street, something like when a parent would tell their child, "G St... G is for Grasshopper." Over the years the project was expanded to include 20 such decorations in SE Capitol Hill, although one of them has unfortunately disappeared. Some of the pictures here also appeared in my scavenger hunt gallery as well.

Still at it, posted earlier:

That is cool. It reminds me of the faces carved into medieval churches. V

Your choice of perspective worked. Nice positioning of the clouds.

A unique way to decorate a post. V

Great capture, but I agree with hayl it looks like someone is making an example of an unruly monkey troop!

This one is a bit unsettling with just heads mounted. Maybe it’s the expressions.
