Recently spotted in Provincetown:
We drove past this sign in Provincetown last Monday on our Capril trip. We understood that it could not be a real traffic sign. The next street is a one-way and who can drive in a beehive pattern anyway? The next day, we drove past again and snapped some photos. That night I pondered and pondered the image in my mind’s eye. I figured it out. It is a woman; yes, a celebration of the feminine.
On our last day, on the way out of town, a woman outside the adjacent gallery said, yes, it is a woman, the Venus of Willendorf, to be exact.
Although I do have proper feet, I know just how she feels.
I love this piece of art. So subtle, so splendid.
This particular beehive is visible on many, many roads all throughout Utah.
Splendid! I’m glad you are here to remind me of the word “splendid.” I didn’t think of it as subtle at first, because you know how ubiquitous traffic signs are, but I think you have a good point. I would, however, like to see more of these Venus signs all over US highways, state, interstate, rural routes, whatever, and the ensuing mayhem. But not really because I actually like orderly traffic. Still need some of these signs to remind people to think as well as to consider the mother goddess, fuck yeah!

I want to go live in Provincetown now.
