  A 500 pound Blue Crab made from Stained Glass by Twisted Sifter

 

Located at Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) is Callinectes Douglassi, a 500-pound blue crab made from stained glass by artist Jackie Leatherbury Douglass and her husband John in 1984. The 10 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft (3 x 2 x 1.5 meter) sculpture took over 5,500 man hours over a 14-month period to build. The stained glass blue crab weighs roughly 500 pounds. "With 550 miles of heavily crabbed waterfront, and a capital city known as Crabtowne, a newspaper nicknamed the Crab-wrapper… the crab is our most ubiquitous seafood… No creature is more deeply embedded in the bay region's economy, culture and ecology."  Callinectes Douglassi by Jackie Leatherbury Douglass   1.

Picture of the Day: Intersection of Reflection Posted: 14 May 2013 02:22 PM PDT   INTERSECTION OF REFLECTION   In this brilliant photograph by Navid Baraty, we see the Avenue of the Americas located in midtown Manhattan, New York, from above. The road is also perfectly reflected in the building Navid is shooting from. And check out the ratio of cabs to other vehicles! This is one of the photos from Baraty's series entitled Intersection | NYC. He has since followed up the popular series with a collection of New York Intersections at Night. Both are definitely worth checking out.
