Ventura, CA, March 12-16, 2018

Here are some pictures from Ventura, California; click any picture to see it at a larger size. The first two pictures are metal sculpture/engravings set into the sidewalk near the pier. These are about the sense of sound and smell; others for touch and taste are there, but I did not get any good pictures of them.

Metal plate with two ears sculpted into it and words hear, here, tone, and tome. Metal plate with nose sculpted into it and words nose, knows, scents, and sense.
