Skywatch Friday - Universal Child
Located on the grounds of the Santa Clara City Hall is an 85 feet rocket-like statue called "Universal Child" created by artist Benny Bufano in 1965. At the top of the tower is the face of the child and at the bottom are more children representing the races of the world.
I posted a picture of this statue years ago, but it is time to see it again. :-)

It is an intriguing monument. It looks like a big bullet to me.
It's an interesting rocket. I would like to take a photo around there.
A very unusual statue, but it works for me!
Cool capture! Happy sky watching.
My sky.
That's an interesting concept behind this striking sculpture.
Very intriguing way to display the children's faces, unusual and cool find:)
I really like this piece of art, happy new week!
I thought that might be a Bufano, this must be one of his largest works, it is huge.
what an interesting tower. i'd love to see this in person.
Hmmm. Now I'm wondering whether your rain ever arrived?? What a fantastic statue. I love stuff like that celebrates universality and the unity of human beings. That sounds arrange now that I put all of that into words.
