It's Gonna Stick Like That

The Getty Center has a marvelous setting and a delightful building, but a somewhat less-inspired collection of art. That is, unless you are interested in endless Italian oil paintings of crucifixions.
One of the more entertaining pieces is recreated here by B. The original is below. The security guard wouldn't let us put glasses on the gentleman.

Mooses, Moosi, Meese, and More Moose

The state animal of Maine is the moose. Therefore, you might expect to see them wandering around everywhere. They aren't. 'Moose Crossing' indicates that a moose may or may not have passed this way at some point. Moosehead Lake has no moose.
We drove several hours out of our way on 'The Moose Highway' through 'Moose Alley'. None there either. Past the Moose Car Wash, Moose Bar & Grill, Mr. Moose's Kampground, and on and on. We did find this fiberglas flying moose.
And, then, on our way to Gorham, New Hampsh*****LOOK OUT!!!****OH MY GOSH THAT IS HUGE!!!***** Yes, a moose. Running across the highway. After dark. Not really the way we wanted to encounter the largest land mammal in North America.

Here Sheepy Sheepy!

We've been to Bighorn Canyon, Bighorn Lookout, Bighorn Creek, Bighorn Crossing, Bighorn Viewing Area, Bighorn Cliff, and Bighorns 'R' Us, and we've seen ZERO bighorn sheep.

Here's our first. Sadly, the sheep is so far away, that its image is less than one pixel. Of course, the whole thing could be an animatronic hoax.

Scenic Drives, Part 192

The Great Southeast: Day 7

In yet another case of what we like to call 'traveler's disappointment', we veered off the main road for the temptation of looking at some French broads. There were none.
