There wasn't much info about this piece. I just though it was a good example of art trying to be interesting as well as being an amenity. Other than being visually appealing, it doesn't serve much of a purpose other than covering people that are waiting for the bus, but it certainly looks better than the bus stops we have.

I think this is a great example of art as an amenity. The fluidity of the piece through the ground gives it a serpent like movement.
I like this because it looks like a snake weaving its self in and out of the ground and if one thinks about it a bus is at least the same idea of a snake
I think its very random yet unique reminds me of the magic school bus.
Haha when i saw this picture, for some reason i thought of a roller coaster that has a loop in it, this a great example of different art such as not being so normal. great post.
