Pausing at Columbus, Indiana

Columbus, Indiana, is located about forty miles south of Indianapolis along I-65. Linda suggested we stop to take in the sights of the community. One of her relatives lived in Columbus some years ago and Linda thought I'd like to see the town. On top of that, Columbus is now home town to the former Rushville Rocket, Tony Stewart. I didn't expect to see Mr. Stewart but figured it more likely to see him there than rolling down I-65.

Linda was right. Columbus was a surprisingly rich visual treat. Interesting architecture, public installation art, and a very cute community fundraising project were all on display. The two images at the left in the image a permanent pieces (as I understand) and the remaining four images show tree cozies installed after the first of the year for a couple of months. The cozies are built to raise funds for their identifies charities. The winner is pictured in the upper right.
