I wonder how evil and scary the blue horse looks when backlit like this.

  3. The fact that the sculptor was killed in the making of the horse makes it all the more freaky.

    What freaks me out more is the weird indian chanting over the loud speaker upon entering the Frontier concourse after getting through security.

  5. The horse, and especially the eyes, freak me out all the time too. But you can't diss the horse on account of the artist's demise in the making of it. IT would be bad mojo. I applaud Denver for such a non-traditional piece of giant public art. A bronze statue of a family holding hands would be safer — and then you'd be in Salt Lake City !

  6. @bfeld, that is by far, the scariest pic of the devil horse that I have seen!

  7. I thought I was the only one who was scared by the evil looking horse when I was in Denver last week for the first time. It gave me nightmares. :)
