Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Michelangelo, the artist not the turtle, observed that "a true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection." Does that apply to this snapshot of Geographically Yours? [2016]

San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico

A surfer dude must have gotten a little too frisky with his last surfboard, giving rise to a new species. It doesn't look like there is much room for a brain; though in this day of artificial intelligence, who cares? [2016]

City Centre, Gibraltar

Bib overalls on the streets of urban Gibraltar? Where's the farm? Maybe he just disembarked from a cruise ship for a few hours. Not too many cruise lines allow you to bring your pet rabbit on board, though. [2015]

Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Cincinnati's Metrobot accepts Tweets, makes calls, and swallows big screens, all in the interest of drawing people into the Contemporary Arts Center. Hope he doesn't scare them away instead! [2015]

Columbia, South Carolina, USA

Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, where would Columbia be without you? For an answer to that question, you might consult (a) City Center Partnership, (b) Matthew Kramer, (c) Paul McCartney, or (d) Sgt. Pepper. And, from each you might get a different version of reality. [2016]

Chester, Illinois, USA

When you have a famous cartoonist, E. C. Segar, as your favorite son, you don't waste the opportunity to use the forces of localization against the forces of globalization. Placelessness may be setting in all over, but not in Chester, Illinois. On practically every corner, there is a character from the Popeye cartoons. Do you recognize this one? [2015]

Leesburg, Virginia, USA

It's Michelangelo moonlighting as a security guard for Meadows Farms. From up there he can issue an intruder alert immediately. What is his weapon of choice? Nunchucks, of course. [2014]
