Visiting Strawberry Point

If you ever see Iowa tourism material, odds are good you've seen either Albert the Bull or the strawberry at Strawberry Point. Being in the area and looking for a gas station, Linda and I tooled on up the road. After topping off the gas, I took the short stroll over to city hall and got this shot of what is generally considered the largest strawberry sculpture on display in these United States. This handsome tribute to the tasty fruit is fifteen feet tall, made of fiberglass, and dedicated some time in the 1960s. Worth a pause to appreciate, I'd say.
