In keeping with the theme of random Boston shots showing up on the 617Midway Blog, above see the mosaic at the rear of St. Anthony's Shrine in Downtown Crossing. Also, see another picture from my continuing look at signs and the little man who continues to martyr himself for our sins of ignorance. The electrocution sign was across the street from the shrine. Or, wait... is that a sign to beware impending electrocution, or is the man an approximation of a cowboy and that is a bull whip? Or, it is a screen capture from the movie ET and that weird cable is the alien's finger? A poor rendering of The Birth of Adam from the Sistine Chapel maybe?
There's an art series for you: Take the little man and place him in iconic paintings down through the centuries.
But what a cool mosaic often taken for granted right there at St. Anthony's Shrine. And what a cool piece of found art right across the street.
Image of Birth of Adam is from Wikipedia.
