Default Roundabout art

Anybody spent some time driving in France? If so you may have noticed roundabout art. WSJ

Since I both enjoy art and driving roundabouts as opposed to being stuck at interminable traffic lights this is the way to go IMHO.

Try this link

And than click on "When Driving in France........."

I enjoyed that youtube--thank-you.

I also would like to think of some sculpture that would work in our round-abouts. Maybe a giant loofah?
