that’s a bus stop?

i’m missing something here.

never have i been so confused by a bus stop.

it’s a fully functioning bus stop in ventura, california and it looks like some kind of mutant house snake. it’s very possible that i’d be too scared to sit on a bench in the middle of that and calmly wait for a bus.

turns out the guy that designed it, dennis oppenheim, also created this beauty called ‘device to root out evil’…

it’s situated at harbour green park in vancouver and obviously caused some controversy.

  1. Looks like they wanted people to question their own sanity, park the car, and take the bus!

  7. It looks like something in about 100 years from now. Interesting, but weird.
