Then there was Metaphor: The Tree of Utah, located at milepost 26 on I-80 (note the wedges on the ground too). European artist Karl Momen created it as a "hymn to our universe whose glory and dimension is beyond all myth and imagination." As Eccentric America puts it, "There isn't so much as a place to pull over and contemplate this, however, so maybe Utah doesn't want to encourage anyone to think California-type thoughts."

(We discovered Eccentric America three months after the sculpture itself … at least now we know what the art is!)

Where are these photos from?: These are photos I took between Nevada and Colorado.
