Bordeaux, France: Sanna Sculpture

If this doesn't catch your eye, you simply need to pay more attention while walking around.

This is Sanna, a large but thin sculpture. It was produced by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa. In 2013, the city hosted a large outdoor display of his work around the streets of Bordeaux, with emphasis on "large." These were big pieces, and attracted some notice. Having a height of more than 21 feet will do that.

In fact, when the time of the exhibition ended, the city of Bordeaux didn't want it to go away. So this Sanna Sculpture has remained in place, more than 10 years later. 

Public art is usually designed to be fun, and this certainly qualifies.
