Whale Art


Always unique things to see in Alaska.

Proudly displayed in Mark Stopha's front yard is this whale tail.  When I asked Mark about it he said that he liked the aesthetics of it but the real reason it's there is that it serves as a giant middle finger to the Department of Transportation.   What use to adorn their yard was a white picket fence.  The powers to be said the fence, which had been there for more than 20 years, was in the right of way and could distract drivers as they passed by.  Mark's wife Sara said, "I'll show you a distraction".  And that is how the whale tail ended up where it is.

Check for the government.  Checkmate for Mark and Sara.
