Sites in Your Sights

 Found some fun tourist attractions with interesting back stories which seemed share worthy. The "Man Hanging Out" sculpture often prompts concerned calls to the Prague police as they mistake it for a real man. 

Floralis Generica is a 75 foot tall mechanical flower located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the sculpture is made of stainless steel and aluminum and opens and closes with the sun. 


La Fourchette is a 26 foot tall stainless steel fork stuck in Lake Geneva tines down to commemorate the 10th anniversary of a local food museum but when it was moved to a cutlery factory after the anniversary was over the locals missed the fork in the lake and finally got it brought back in 2007.
