On our way through Burlington (Vermont) I had to stop and see the Whale Tails. They can be seen from the Interstate but what’s the fun in that?

We walked right up to them.

I gave them a little hug.

Not sure if Dennis was trying to push them over or finding his Zen.

Reverence was created by Jim Sardonis from 36 tons of African black granite in 1989.

  3. Of course you had to stop and see and touch them. Things like this are not meant to be viewed from the highway. I'm glad you shared, for when I EVENTUALLY get to Vermont, I'll know to look for them.

  6. If they weigh that much I guess there's not chance of pushing them over. How interesting!

  15. Whale's tails are not something I think of when I think of Vermont. Very cool though and makes me think I'd get along just fine there LOL

  16. I love the oddity of this artful piece. Strange to see whales swimming amidst a green sea. Your vacation has missed nothing and I'm pleased for that as I've enjoyed reading your adventures and seeing your great pictures. Have a nice day.

  18. I visited Burlington in 1996 - but never saw the whale tails. I'm quite bummed out. (maybe they are recent additions?)
